New enough and indeed large enough. QPQ present. Recent death status confirmed. Image is freely licensed. Both hook facts are interesting and check out. DYKcheck doesn't flag as 5x but it indeed is 5x from the most recent revision prior to his death. I've thrown one more reference into the page—a 1992 article that goes more in depth into the reasons for his firing. (His PD wanted him to appear on a radio show and then fly to Baltimore to cover a Dolphins game the next day, and then he asked him to blow out his show for hurricane coverage, which he refused. Remember that this was weeks after Andrew.) If you'd like more, South Florida is one of the best markets for paper coverage I have. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
