“Stay a little”

I’m not really a fan of Frank Bruni’s, but this op-ed is an outstanding statement of the value of culture, expressed with a telling example from King Lear (the kind of thing I’ll be hammering on when I get to that play—hope you’ll be paying attention, Ira Glass). A small balm after the shocking death of David Carr, the New York Times‘s most humane presence in these darkening days.
