Snark of the Day

The first of many Trials of the Century took place in 1907, when Harry K. Thaw was charged with the murder of celebrity architect Stanford White. Bolstered by family money, he wound up in a mental hospital instead of prison. Years later, it is said, Thaw attended the opening of Radio City Music Hall and, gazing around the lobby, remarked, "I shot the wrong architect." I sometimes wonder if Sirhan Sirhan watches the news in the prison rec room and thinks, "I shot the wrong Robert Kennedy."

There is a part of me (Mr. Subliminal: A very small part of me) that feels guilty about enjoying such a joke, but I can live with that.
