Larry King: Question More is No More
Monitoring Desk: Larry King: Question More is No More.
“Question More” was the iconic phrase of the late Larry King who died today. He was 87.
Born as Lawrence Harvey Zeiger on November 19, 1933, he became Larry King accidentally when his Radio producer told him that Zeiger was a too ethnic name to be of an American. His parents were from the former Russian Empire. His father Aaron Zeiger was born in Kolomyia that is now part of western Ukraine.
Married seven times with six women, Larry King would be remembered for his different style of interviewing people ranging from restaurant waiters to presidents of superpowers.
The William B. Crawley Great Lives Series is going back to its roots this year, using only the in-house talent of University of Mary Washington staff and affiliates.

Stamford Advocate. I resolved to write a humor column, too. It would be like doing standup comedy, except I wouldn’t have to show up.
It s been 28 years since National Public Radio first broadcast The Santaland Diaries, David Sedaris slightly exaggerated memoir of working as a Christmas elf at Macy s in New York.
Since then, the erstwhile Raleigh resident has topped the best seller lists with a dozen collections of his snarky, self-deprecating stories, essays and regurgitated diary entries.
Now comes The Best of Me not exactly a Greatest Hits album ( Santaland is conspicuously absent) but a collection of 46 New Yorker pieces by Sedaris published over the last quarter century. It s a fine core sample of the essential Sedaris..
There are the holiday stories ( Christmas Means Giving tracks a battle of conspicuous consumption in a gated community) and the parodies. A snooty theater critic savages an elementary school Christmas pageant: In the role of Mary, 6-year-old Shannon Burke just barely manages to pass herself off as a virgin.
