Sloyan[/url][quote]Patrick J. Sloyan, a Newsday journalist whose skepticism toward official Pentagon statements led to a Pulitzer Prize-winning series on the first Gulf War, in which he revealed that many U.S. troops died by friendly fire and U.S. forces buried Iraqi troops alive in the desert, died Feb. 4 at his home in Paeonian Springs, Va. He was 82.[/quote] |
Albert Finney
His acting seemed so natural.

I'd never heard of him, but I'd heard of some of the things he did.

Well-covered over in the "We Need Is a Space Mission" thread, but IMO it also deserves an entry here, immortalization via anthropomorphization if you will:

Engineers lost contact with the solar-powered vehicle on June 10 during a dust storm that encircled Mars. Since then, NASA officials made numerous attempts to reach the six-wheeled rover, which is about the size of a golf cart.[/quote] |
