view points I am sure was always a balancing act. Sometimes critics do not have the intellectual depth to see all sides, and sometimes they are just plain wrong. There are films and even TV shows I watched in the past that I see differently years later with more time, knowledge and experience. Some things I still just don't get but other people seem to.

I think he would have welcomed and listened to a viewpoint like yours and I even heard him once or twice change his mind. I did not watch him religiously, nor consider him anything other than a newspaper reviewer with a conscience, and of course a survivor, so I cannot write with any real depth on him myself. Almost dying often changes or deepens ones outlook.

But his courage and life outlook was inspiring to me so he did affect my life and I think he did make a positive difference in his life and career even if it wasn't a perfect one.
