I really liked his reporting. He died much too early. I smoked for a few years. And then I quit. After that, every time we spoke my cousin would hound me and ask me if I started smoking again. Finally, out of frustration, I said to him one day would you please stop asking........I am not going back to cigarettes. He said in response, I hope not........if you quit and then go back; no matter how many years in between you didn't smoke, it doesn't matter. Your body reacts as if you had smoked all those years. Peter Jennings quit smoking like 30 years ago. Two years ago, he started back up smoking. This spring he was diagnosed with lung cancer. A very sad story........and yes, he died too soon. ted

That is sad indeed. Also that is what smoking does to your life and eventually to your health and an early demise. Here in Europe, in countries like Germany and Denmark not to mention the UK people still smoke like crazy. In particular the women and most reporters like most archetype liberals for some reason I still have to fathom. You know those with long hair and beard and extra wide shoes with a lot of space to wiggle the toes. Add no prescription glasses to that to make them look intellectual. Yes, I know those types are pretty much gone in the US now but in Europe you spot them all over the place :( taro
