The term “great” is used too frequently. But not in the case of Elgin Baylor who was truly great.
I agree. Baylor and West were both great and saw them numerous times at the LA Sports Arena. So sad they couldn't beat Boston in those days.

Actor George Segal at 87.
I always loved George Segal. His appearances on Johnny Carson, where he would often play the banjo and once sang the long forgotten song, The Yama Yama Man, were always a delight. Of course I'm a fan of Where's Papa?, but his performance in King Rat may be his best.

"Mastermind" here may be giving a little too much credit here.

A better headline: "G. Gordon Liddy, convicted felon and Nazi sympathizer, Dies at 90."
Actor Gloria Henry, who played the mother on Dennis the Menace, at 98.
Anne Beatts, not just there during the glory days of SNL, but also of National Lampoon's.
Prince Philip.
Long live the Queen. Do you think Prince Harry will attend the funeral? Meghan Markle? President Biden? VP Harris?

Sad, of course, that the Prince passed, but he certainly lived a long and fulfilling life.
When the Queen passes, the impacts will probably be felt around the world.

If he is close to his grandfather he should go. Otherwise, I wouldn't give much time to family that treated my wife as poorly as the claim.

Harry is going, but Meghan not. Apparently her doctor advised against travel given her pregnancy.
Given the restrictions on attendance, only family and friends are being invited. Even Boris Johnson will not attend, so all the more unlikely that anyone from the Biden administration will go.
