I LOVED listening to him. He ALWAYS used a word I had never heard of before.
When getting interviewed he was asked if he had EVER taken public transportation. He said no. He was asked, "Never?" He answered, "Well, everyone has a lacuna in his life."
Lol. Whaaaaaa? I did look it up and it's a great word, 100% appropriate for his meaning.
Lacuna (pl. lacunas or lacunae) may refer to:
Lacuna (manuscripts), a missing section of text

He was also a pretty good writer of fiction. I have his book “Red Hunter” about the McCarthy era. Gives a different view of McCarthy than you get from the regular media.
