HST's suicide leaves me feeling gut-punched. Oddly, not really *surprised*--I never saw him expiring peacefully in bed, or anything. But shocked, and kind of old and emptied out, and deeply sad.
See, if it's the latter, a decision not to live with infirmity, I can live with that. If it's him being crushed in the wake of the election by the final, real death knell of the 70s? I don't think I CAN live with that!! I want to know! Surely he can't have not left a NOTE??
