Aside: Sen. Paul Simon dies
Former Senator Paul Simon dies.
A scholar and a gentleman, it was also through his presidential campaign (and a small short he did on HBO, as I recall) that I learned how to tie a bowtie. Like Senator Moynihan before him, one of the fine old men that made the Senate what it was. Here's hoping for more of his like.
