\"\"<\/a>
Over at his blog colleague Scott Wells<\/a> makes sure that Walter Cronkite\u2019s death doesn\u2019t mean we miss the passing of the world\u2019s oldest man, one of the last surviving WW I veterans, Henry Allingham<\/a>, who died the same day as the renowned newsman, in his case at the age of 113 years, forty two days.<\/p>\n

Mr Allingham\u2019s advice for long life was simple, and actually the reason I felt it necessary to post the notice of his death here.<\/p>\n

\u201cCigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

There was also something about maintaining a sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Sound advice, I\u2019m sure\u2026<\/p>\n
