How does the NYT know I'm in private mode (and stop me from reading the article)? Very frustrating. Wish Chrome would sort that. Sorry for the off topic rant.

Here are the standing ovations that followed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQNYExxW_W0&t=1h17m55s
Here is his second statement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQNYExxW_W0&t=1h41m01s

#15As an aside, I’m so glad that Jon Stewart has found something he can be proud of. It was rough watching the last few years if the Daily Show and see him visibly struggle with his belief that he was merely an entertainer, and entertainment solves nothing. As I’m sure he would tell you, he shouldn’t have to do this, but I’m glad someone with a sharp tongue and some name recognition is.
He's proud of the Daily Show and his legacy.. he just wanted to leave on a high note and let others rise to the top.

#16"Initially assigned to the 108th Precinct in Long Island City, Queens, in 1993, he was transferred to the Narcotics Division and promoted to detective two years later. After working undercover as a detective first grade, he sought a less stressful assignment and, in 2004, volunteered for the Bomb Squad."

#17I was struck by Luis Alvarez's 2007 image vs his 2019 image as presented in the article. Twelve years and it looks like he's aged 30. It adds to my sadness on this cluster of issues that one can lose a [statistically] full third of their life in situations like this.
Disease is just that: dis-ease, an insult to healthy function. Cancer is just one of many ways you, or anyone, can be brought down fast and hard.
