Reader comment on:
A Death In Naples
in response to reader comment: Wow, what a guy

I remember back in 1975, just starting out in graduate school, Trow wrote a piece about Bruce Springsteen, who'd just released "Born to Run." Calling Springsteen hype (or something like that), he managed at once to be insightful and infuriating.

Trow apparently never lost that magic touch. If anyone needed a broad (or two) to keep him on the straight and narrow, it was Trow. Marginal men are the most fascinating, but they pay the highest price if they can't reconcile their contradictions. RIP, old pal.
