From the NYT obituary of Ted Turner:

“Mr. Turner, he said, drank excessively, sang Nazi songs outside a Jewish fraternity house and put up Ku Klux Klan signs on the dormitory doors of Black students. He was finally tossed out of Brown after being caught in bed with a woman in his dorm room.“

What a great country: you can be virulently hateful, but you better not try to get laid when you’re in college.

1. Who among us didn't get disciplined in college for consensual sex?

I remember the day CNN opened and the cameras took us throughout the Atlanta complex to familiarize us with the studios. Turner was a visionary who made American television a better (and more inclusive) place.

4. I wasn't commenting on Turner

I was making a point about colleges in those days.

6. Frankly, I was making the same point.

We all did stupid things in college. I damned near killed myself.

7. Ok. Sorry...

I missed the point.

You and me both came close to catastrophic situations there in college .

5. Lesson learned: Write your own damn obit before others spill the beans on your stupid and thoughtless acts.

People will trash you after you're gone, and bury you in a tan suit.
