This time of year we see lists of famous people who departed recently. I noted a few who should not be overlooked.
Mark Shields, for a long time, was the voice of reason on the center-right PBS news program.
Sonny Barger was a leader in the Hell's Angels, and maybe he came to stand for the whole club phenomenon.
Bill Russell of Oakland won 11 NBA championships, 9 or 10 as a player. At USF he won two NCAA titles, the last year undefeated. I attended the last college game he lost (to UCLA and Wooden). He (and K. C. Jones) changed the game on defense as we sat there and watched.
Barbara Ehrenreich, author and myth busting lefty, always interesting.
