Many of us are mourning today the loss of Molly Ivins, the great Texas journalist who was a panelist at the Seminar in 2005. The topic that year was Humor and Ivins was, of course, hilarious. The New York Times (where Ivins worked for a spell but found the Gray Lady just too stuffy) has a nice obituary and the Houston Chronicle has a piece with a small sampling of her great lines. We were lucky she came to visit with us in Key West and our country was lucky to have her.
