Thanks for the huge and somewhat fawning bio from the NYT, although they did cover his attempted suicide and nervous breakdown. One thing caught my eye:

Mr. Wallace, who was outfitted with a pacemaker more than 20 years ago, had a long history of cardiac care and underwent triple bypass heart surgery in January 2008.

I wonder if under Obamacare, an 89 year old will be permitted to have such surgery. Many of the libs went nuts over Cheney's heart transplant.
