Author Frank Herbert, 65, died Tuesday of a blood clot near his lungs.  I
will sorely miss him and his books.

Not to be sacriligeous or anything - you hate to see a writer go, and
Dune was a classic - but I will *NOT* miss the continued trivilization
of the series that Herbert perpetrated once he became a celebrity.

Frank, if you're up there...sorry.  Gotta call 'em like I see 'em.
