Michael Crichton Has Died

On Election Day. Wow. And for some reason I’m surprised that he was in his mid-60s. I guess I shouldn’t be, since his early novels were published in the 60s. Anyway, take a moment and mourn the passing of a great American writer and thinker. Besides creative tours de force like Andromeda Strain, Eaters of the Dead (movie-fied as The 13th Warrior) and ER, he had some cogent things to say on politics. He will be missed.
