To commemorate the passing of columnist/humorist Art Buchwald, who died this morning at age 81, the New York Times runs video of Buchwald announcing his own deathminutes after the news was made public. It’s part of a series of obituary chats the Times is hosting, asking prominent citizens how they’d like to be remembered. The series, aptly, is called “The Last Word.” Buchwald also penned his own farewell column, which he wrote on February 8, 2006, after he’d checked himself into hospice.
