Dead: Jimmy Breslin, at 88, and what I'll say about him is this: We are in an age when the Internet has allowed everyone to think about writing, "I can do that." Jimmy Breslin was and is a reminder that while "anyone can do that," some people do it a lot, lot, LOT better than others. You can see that in his famous "gravedigger" column after JFK's assassination, and you can see it in any number of other columns and books he wrote. I was lucky to grow up reading him in the New York Daily News; he was up there with the best. (New York Times)
