Christopher Reeve dead.

I'm not going to pretend I was a big fan of Reeve. I SHOULD have been a big fan of the Superman movies, given my affinity for comic books, but they didn't really do anything for me.

And I found Reeve awfully eager to try to get the government to spend other people's money on spinal cord research without spending much of his own.

Now he's dead. And we're not supposed to speak ill of the dead.
