R.I.P. TOM WICKER

Former New York Times columnist Tom Wicker died today from an apparent heart attack.  He was 85.  Wicker was a respected political reporter and columnist who wrote some 20 books, including the Edgar-winning A Time To Die about the 1971 Attica prison riot.  I met Wicker briefly during the 1970s and was greatly impressed with his presence, passion, and erudition.
