I hate to burden this site with even more bad news but ...

FRIENDS OF the fabled writer Gore Vidal are sympathizing. His companion of more than 50 years, the charming Howard Austin, died in Los Angeles Monday night. Gore says there will be no ceremony until someday when he and Howard are both laid to rest in Washington's Rock Creek Cemetery near the monument to Henry Adams.

I can't figure out whether this is ghoulish (keep him on ice boys) or egotistical (he's nothing without me). Let's just chalk it up to the process of a diseased mind.

Said and Austin? Much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth...somewhere...I guess....

The Romans would have brought them together in death, but in a rather different way.
