Useless Information! AKA Trivia that you cannot live without!

I've been so tired lately from seeing T***P dominated news page coverage of their cry-baby temper-tantrums and chest thumping strategic lies behavior, that I went in search of Journalists who have contributed greatly to society.

So I spent the day yesterday, studying the life of Calvin Trillin.

Here's what I learned, after watching Johnny Carson interview Calvin Trillin, on JC's late night show, The Tonight Show:

Calvin Trillin married his wife by the same last name (Alice Stewart Trillin) back in 1965.... and Calvin's wife died on the day of the Nine-Eleven NYC Trade Tower attacks (source: Wiki).

Alice led an equally fulfilling life, like Calvin: She is best known for her work with cancer patients and for creating educational programming for underserved children and women.

At Alice's funeral service, Nora Ephron (of "When Harry Met Sally" fame) described the people under Trillin's protection as "anyone she loved, or liked, or knew, or didn’t quite know but knew someone who did, or didn’t know from a hole in a wall but had just gotten a telephone call from because they’d found the number in the telephone book" (source: Wiki)

For an partial list of Calvin Trillin's best known covered subject of literary interest, here's an interesting list of some of his better known works, as archived by The New York Times (LINK).

Here's the video of the Johnny Carson episode, back in November of 1988, that inspired me to research the life of Calvin Trillin:
