From Dan Rather:
He was a sower of sentences, a creator of characters, a transmitter of tone, and an instigator of impact. He was not always easy to read, but you felt empowered in doing the work. In a world where we worry about artificial intelligence, there is some comfort in knowing the indelible power of original art produced by the unique creative powers of the human brain.
