L. Saunders Excerpt from Mind TIming: When the last of the long-languishing news media died, it was with barely a whimper. No bang. Not even a sullen pop. And eyes were dry all around. No one mourned, few even noticed. Two glasses clinked at the Club in celebration. And that was all the wake they deserved. I and my visitor-turned-conspirator were the only witnesses.
