  2. The Death of an Icon (Time.com)
      Right now we could all use a selective memory wipe — a magical eraser to remove all the misery Michael Jackson endured and caused. Just for a minute, we'd like to have pure recollections of the thrilling dancer and singer who dominated '80s music, created the all-time best-selling album of new songs (Thriller) and seemed the very model of the cool dude with the sensitive soul. 06-09

  3. Two Different Views of Jackson's Health (ABC News)
      " 'He might have been a little thin because he was under a lot of stress training for the tour,' Ferrigno, who played the Hulk in 'The Incredible Hulk' TV series, said in an interview that aired on 'Good Morning America' today. 'But when I put him through the routine and everything, I mean, it was just fine. I mean, very energetic.' "

      A very different view of Jackson's health comes from Halperin: "Ian Halperin, who is publishing a new biography on the 'Thriller' singer, wrote in December that Jackson had only six months to live. He said Jackson suffered from a rare form of lung disorder." 06-09

Papers
  1. Editorial: What the Deaths of Jackson and Fawcett Tell Us (CNN News)
      "Both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett caught our attention because of their particular gifts. But we care about them as people because they let us in, because they were human, real. It's their vulnerability in the context of their power that was so impossible to resist, so compelling, so moving."

      "That's what Michael Jackson had and lost. And it's what Farrah Fawcett lost and found." 07-09

  2. Jackson's Daughter Says Goodbye (Time.com)
      "But the most indelible moment in the 2½-hr. memorial ceremony was the sight of Jackson's daughter Paris on the podium. The 11-year-old unexpectedly took the microphone and spoke for the first time to a worldwide audience, bidding her father farewell."

Only in Hollywood could the unfinished dream become celluloid reality, in part because only in Hollywood would they know how to sell it." 10-09
