Tribute to Obit

I just read this obituary on Charles Lane (which was written a month after he died) from Ty Burr of the Boston Globe

I immediately thought he had stolen material from LA Guy's July 11 entry on the same. On re-reading though, while there were some vague similarities, I didn't really see evidence of that. (sorry LA Guy if I excited you about a big settlement) However, I think we can congratulate LA guy's economy of language in succinctly capturing the essence of Mr. Lane more memorably than & in about 80% fewer words than the Boston Globe's movie guy.
