I don't suppose anyone over the age of 45 or so will forget the song "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini". Well, the composer of that classic has died.

Our Baby Boomer heritage is slowly but surely ending up 6 feet under...

NOTA BENE: Actually, we have now been told that this gentleman was fibbing and someone else (who is not dead) wrote it. Oh well...

The few times I've had personal knowledge of a news item, and the one time I was quoted in the New York Times, the newspapers got it wrong. So I know exactly what you mean. On 7/7 last year, I was very ill and daytime TV was all I was doing (with frequent trips to the bathroom) and the final story was very different from what they were broadcasting at the time.
