    "He could do anything he wanted to do -- the movie business, writing, theater, politics," author Gay Talese said Saturday. "He never thought the boundaries were restricted. He'd go anywhere and try anything. He was a courageous person, a great person, fully confident, with a great sense of optimism."

    was a great great writer. And for me he personified the quintessential New Yorker. Tough, brash, and honest.
