The media hardly made mention on the passing of Robert S. McNamara. Granted, he didn't die an untimely death and he didn't sport a white sequined glove but his impact as a former Secretary of Defense is undeniable. We are an ignorant nation enamored with celebrities to our own peril. Now the poor Jackson children will have to hide from the camera. I'd think being called "Blanket" would be hard enough to bear.
I don't recall crying at my father's funeral. I was too little to comprehend the reality.....and I was really excited to play with my cousins.
