He had such a great vocabulary, and a very subtle sense of humor.... ...and a great voice! I loved listening to his audio books. God be with him.

Dang. I was hit in the same intersection. People tend to travel at freeway speed on that stretch.

Mr. Halberstam was a great author. May he RIP.
The range of his subjects always impressed me. He was equally adept at writing about Politics, Business or Sports. Two of my Halberstam favorites were The Breaks of The Game, one of the best books about basketball ever, and The Reckoning, which was a fascinating examination of the auto industry.
To: Norman Arbuthnot
The Reckoning is one Halberstam book I would like to add to my bookshelf.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
I would encourage you to do so. It is an excellent book.
To: SF Republican
Dreadful. May he rest in peace.

I don’t think I ever heard him speak. I’ll have to look for an audiobook in the library!

No, it's a mile or so north of 101, i.e. 'East of the Bayshore". Right in front of the Sun campus.
More like where Menlo Park meets East Palo Alto...
