Do they actually have people who write pending obits? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 15:04 5
- that's what interns are for -- nm - zork Jun 25, 15:05
- They don't write themselves. Anyway, they're really biographies. They would be used (or cribbed) for any big story on the person. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 15:05 2
  - Or accidentally sent live with minimal changes, with an apology afterwards. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 15:06
  - I wonder if they resemble something like a wikipedia entry, only with more quotes -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 15:06
- I'd assume so. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 15:04
almost everybody, really. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 15:03 1
