On November 10th, 2007, I was in a hotel room in Udaipur, India, channel-surfing for something that wasn’t a Bollywood soap opera. Suddenly that familiar and beloved wide face with the questing blue eyes and the halo of white curls and the koala bear ears appeared on the TV screen, ablaze with life. He was holding forth, of course, with great animation — but I couldn’t hear his voice, that unmistakable cultivated growl. The CNN commentator was talking over him so I knew instantly that he had died. Not even CNN would dare to talk over one of the best conversationalists in America when he was still here. | On November 10th, 2007, I was in a hotel room in Udaipur, India, channel-surfing for something that wasn’t a Bollywood soap opera.
