Points for speed, I suppose, but National Review isn't a newspaper. Several FReepers' vanities the day of Johnny's death were much better than this.
I thought journalists were taught verbal economy. "Drug-related addictions" and "health-related maladies" in the same sentence? It reminds me of the obituary in the Shelby County Herald that said my grandfather died "from poor health."

Was this written for the magazine, or the Web edition? Web-based journalism makes the time crunch even worse. The deadline is no longer at 11 p.m., or on Tuesday morning, in the case of a magazine. It's as fast as you can get it out.
