The other day I slighted Erich Segal. Marty has run this tribute. When we do things for media we become cartoon characters. It's true Segal was a hack novelist who wrote a silly catch phrase that made him zillions. He was also a professor of the classics and "knew many languages". He was a brilliant man. He battled illness for many years. It says something of the media's overwhelming power and the vast love they've engendered that we judge a man by a catch phrase. Blogging means never having to say you're sorry. It shouldn't.
