Tom Clancy dead at 66
This one caught me off-guard. I really enjoyed his writing.
With Putin's rise maybe they should check for radiation poisoning?  RIP, Tom, thanks for sharing your clever, detailed stories. Author Tom Clancy dies at 66 - TODAY.com

I was a big fan of his until I saw him in an interview in which he referred to JFK very disrespectfully.

This is a better article from the BBC.
It includes a snippet from an interview where he was discussing a plotline where he had a pilot fly a passenger jet into the Capitol Building. Interesting guy all the way around. BBC News - Spy novelist Tom Clancy dies aged 66

What a shame. (Only 66 too
) Red Storm Rising is still one of my favorite books

Huge fan of his earlier works, less so of the later stuff. Two years ago got on a clancy kick and read all his books sequentially.
A man with a great talent, RIP
