I know that you have seen the news on Joe Paterno's death, but really, it is of no shock.  I thought it was coming for weeks, the minute the news released by his family that he had cancer, and then the broken pelvis. 

I think the guilt of his own actions exacerbated his cancer, for sure.  Just like [the late-UNR President Milton] Glick got backed into a corner with his own actions and decisions and suffered a stroke.

While it is true that both Glick and Paterno were up in age, it is the precise moments of what they were caught up in, is what brought them down. 

Glick may have lived into his 80's, had he chosen a different path, and Paterno until his 90's.  Toward the end of Glick's life he was alone in looking in the mirror at his own reflection.

I think that did him in.
