I was away on vacation last week and didn't keep up with the news...did I hear correct that the sequence of events leading to his death started down in Antarctica, where he had to be airlifted back to a hospital here in the states? Or am I thinking of someone else?
That was Buzz Aldrin.
It's kind of ironic that Buzz Aldrin got altitude sickness.

The Chinese news coverage of Castro's death has been very interesting, and very different from American news.
wondering how so?
In the United States, Castro was a brutal dictator who murdered and oppressed his own people. In China, Castro is a brave revolutionary who fought the imperialist Americans for 50 years. China isn't especially concerned about how Cuban Americans in Florida feel.

RIP ZsaZsa. ^^ From that article: Never losing her thick Hungarian accent, Gabor's cutting tongue helped draw an army of fans who adored the fact she could be herself. Here are a selection of some of her best quotes: - 'I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.' - 'As a teenager, I preferred the company of boys to girls, focusing always on the most indifferent male and flirting with him until he became my slave.' - On calling everyone 'darling', or 'dahlink' in her Hungarian accent, she said: 'I call everyone "dahlink" because I can't remember their names.' - 'I am a marvellous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.' - 'I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?' - 'How many husbands have I had? You mean apart from my own?'

RIP Zsa Zsa Gabor.ð??ð?» I really loved her, especially when I was a little girl. I went through a phase where I had my Mom and Dad refer to me as "Zsa Zsa" and I made my Mom buy a rabbit fur coat for me, so I could resemble her, when I was about 6 years old. ð???

It has been reported that he was found in his bed, peacefully. And that it was heart failure. Hopefully, it was not drug or alcohol related.
