> Actually, for me anyway, we already have 3.  Robert Hazard died last week.


True...I didn't think to include him (way too young and a huge loss, have 
long enjoyed his work). I guess when I found about Bernie and Ike within 24 
hours, it seemed to start a new "cycle". (I could have figured Hazard as 
part of the Solzhenitsyn/Skip Caray triad...but usually it's when two people 
from the same field pass that the clock seems to start ticking)
