*Lastly, she died in obscurity.

She was an alcoholic, and may have struggled with mental illness. Her sister Susan, who had managed her career for years, had her committed at age 49. Anna found the headlines humiliating: "Anna Dickinson Insane" blared the NY papers.

Thanks David.

Makes me wonder why the Times would print the first article in "Your Morning Briefing" (post #1) to begin with.
The Times seems to show a lack of responsibility with "Freedom Of The Press".
Unfortunately, they are not alone.

"Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect." - Eleanor Roosevelt
