This has been a bit of a sore point between me (Kathy too) and the ACA
people.  Peter and Al both died nearly two years ago.  We brought Peter's
untimely demise to the attention of the BB editor (my boss).  I brought it
up about 5 times for different issues, because it seemed like they
actually wanted to do something for him.  Kathy even got the still-bitter
former editor of BB to write the obit because he knew him very well.  But 
then came a word from above that we weren't going to have space or some 
other lame excuse.  They just plain didn't want it for their own political 
reasons.

Now, Jean-Claude Nourissat just passed on about a month ago, and 
when I got back from the conference, I found 6 pages of gushing tribute 
and photos being pushed into my plate even though I'd already layed out 
the entire issue.  So it's all relative.  And my other point is, this 
stuff happens all over the place.

So does it sound like we're all in agreement on "no", but say it nicely?
