   "One reason why we don?t kill is because we are not used to it. I never    
   killed anybody, but I have done just the same thing. I have had a great    
   deal of satisfaction over many obituary notices that I have read. I    
   never got into the habit of killing. I could mention the names of many    
   that it would please me if I could read their obituaries in the paper in    
   the morning."   
   --Clarence Darrow, 1922    
      
   Darrow may have said it in 1922, but the sentiment is evergreen. I can't    
   say that Dobson was at the top of my personal list of people whose    
   obituaries it would please me to read, but he'd certainly have been in    
   the top 10.
