the public being the public - there were quite a few idiots who made idiotic comments about him and his picks - and he didn't appreciate that at all - the fact that the Post allowed all of these comments to appear below his column

That's unfortunate, but he had a good run and was born at the right time. The world has changed bigtime. Working for a newspaper these days must be similar to what is was like when I finally landed a job at Xerox in early 2000s. By that time every building was more than half empty. Now much like Kodak it's barely a name. A lot of people made a lot of good livings in the 60s and 70s, that'll never happen again. At this point even bookstores are on life support.
