All the old Chicago elder statesmen of the media are now gone...
Mike Royko, Irv Kupcinet, Harry Carey, and now Studs. :\'(

Gosh! I thought Mr. Terkel had already left us. He was a good egg with his fondness for history, jazz, and populism. I wish we had more folks like Studs!

His book "The Good War" should be kept on every library shelf next to Brokaw's "The Greatest Generation" just to keep reality in check!
"With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven."
