Leia Organa, the politician and revolutionary who led the defeat
of the Galactic Empire, died after a short illness. She was 60 years old.
Hers was a life laced with controversy concerning everything from her
tactics to her very ancestry, but her intelligence, commitment to the
Republican cause, and place at the heart of the Rebellion, and later the
Resistance against Neo-Imperialism, remains the indisputable core of her
legacy.
Via inks, Leia
Organa: A Critical Obituary – you're always being
judged
Sigh … as if 2016 wasn't bad enough with the death of Carrie Fisher.
Now you have to take Princess Leia as well?
Good riddance, 2016!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
