George Plimpton dies at 76

George Plimpton, writer, publisher, actor, patron, and much more, died on Friday. Plimpton was an American literary hero who, among many other achievements, was a forerunner in "participatory journalism," which years later became known as "gonzo journalism." His book, "Paper Lion," is a hilariously insightful account of the season Plimpton joined the Detroit Lions as a 36 year old rookie quarterback.
