Columbus Day!
Christopher Reeves seems to be the top story this morning, http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041011/ap_on_en_mo/obit_reeve&cid=502&ncid=716 I never had much respect for his work, even when the media made him the poster boy for the physically challenged.

But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life..."
