In the radio news headlines this morning my ears perked up about the murder of Rob Reiner. The BBC news was on covering non-US stuff so I pulled up the New York Times report. His father Carl is still alive (98), but I fear the loss of Rob and Michele, possibly at the hands of his grandson, is going to take out both Carl and his best friend Mel Brooks, who was so tight with that family.

That family is going to have a terrible time sorting out the trouble ahead. Murders don't usually happen without anger and/or mental illness accelerating the violence.
