RIP Dr. Emoto, Ben Bradlee, and Oscar de la Renta

Yes, the past 72 hours has seen the passing of 3 giants of our time. The first offered that our prayers and thoughtforms matter, as does our attitude toward water; the second made sure the story of Nixon's perfidy got told; and the third had and set a lot of celebrity styles. RIP gentlemen.
