The final chapter of life

Some nice meditations from an old school newspaperman on the final chapter of his life: “I just learned I only have months to live. This is what I want to say.” Thomas had one of my fantasy careers — impossible to actually achieve in my generation, because newspapers were already depressingly menaced by the time I had a shot at it. But I would have loved it back in the day. The golden age of newspapers was definitely one of the best things about that lost world.
