She served this country well as our FLOTUS.  She lived a very long and seemingly wonderful life and died with grace and dignity, surrounded by loved ones.  Can't really ask for more than that.  Prayers for the Bush family as they deal with her passing.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Bruno Sammartino, professional wrestler, dies at 82



In a profession where many of the greats didn't live to reach 70 years old, Sammartino was an aberration in many ways. One of the greatest professional wrestlers in history, Sammartino, whose acrobatics revolutionized the sport and moved it away from its mat-based origins, held the heavyweight title in what eventually became WWE continuously for an unprecedented (and unreplicated) eight years between 1963 and 1971, then won it back for another four years from 1973 to 1977.

He returned to professional wrestling in the mid-1980s as part of a contract settlement with Vince McMahon when Sammartino learned McMahon's father had cheated him out of a large sum of money during his wrestling days. Dismayed with the direction professional wrestling was going with the increased use of steroids, Sammartino left the sport in 1988, not returning until 2013.

Sammartino was born in Italy and fled to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during World War II, calling that city home for the rest of his life.

Bruno Sammartino was a Pittsburgh icon.
Quote
...  Professional wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino has died at 82, WWE announced Wednesday.

A sickly, malnourished immigrant boy when he first came to America, Sammartino transformed himself into one of the strongest men in the world, winning the respect and love of legions of immigrants who found hope in his message that hard work brings reward. ...

 Fans adored him, during and after his reign.

They revered Sammartino as a fierce but honest fighter. They delighted in his astonishing feats of strength, including the time he lifted 640-pound Haystacks Calhoun over his head during an early match. They admired his principled resolve during a 25-year feud with professional wrestling owner Vince McMahon over what Sammartino called rampant drug use and sexual exploitation. And they sold out Madison Square Garden in 2013 when he finally agreed to be inducted into the sport's Hall of Fame.

“Everything I did was made possible by my fans,” Sammartino said moments before his induction ceremony. “I've never kidded myself to think I was a big deal. If I was, it was because of the fans. Any successes I've had, I owe it all to the fans.”   ...
More at Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

We Pixburgh kids grew up watching Bruno on WIIC's "Studio Wrestling" show. He was one of the good guys.

Randy Scruggs, a Grammy-winning musician, songwriter and producer, and the son of banjo innovator Earl Scruggs, died Tuesday night after a short illness. He was 64.

He began making music professionally when he was just 13, and worked with everyone from Waylon Jennings to Lisa Loeb. Over the course of his career, he played on two of country music's landmark albums, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Will the Circle Be Unbroken and John Hartford's Aereo-
Plain, produced the Dirt Band's subsequent two Circle volumes and co-wrote hits like We Danced Anyway and Angel in Disguise.

Randy Lynn Scruggs was the second of three sons born in Nashville to Earl and Louise Scruggs on Aug. 4, 1953. He grew up surrounded by music; greats like Maybelle Carter and Johnny Cash would stop by the house. Carter's autoharp fascinated six-year-old Randy.

I don't think Winton ever did anything in the U.S. (David Ruprecht was the host of Supermarket Sweep, a quite underrated game show if you ask me, over here in America.) I think the only thing he's known for here is his bit part in the cult British film Trainspotting.
