the delphic expanse

Here's some remembrances of a guy who was quintessentially American:

I remember watching his pieces on "60 Minutes." Oh, there were times I didn't agree with some of the things he said, but the way he presented them was always entertaining. I know his style had an influence on some of my writing, in particular, when I was writing opinion columns for a newspaper.

RIP, Andy. I'll definitely remember you.

Although I didn't watch "60 Minutes", I definitely knew his name. When it was announced that he was leaving "60 Minutes", I had a feeling something wasn't right.

So sad. I watched him for years. RIP.
