Frank Johnson, the guy who created the term "the chattering classes" has died of cancer.
Seems to have been quite a guy. He's been in congress with Maria Callas's right nipple, and he filed a story for the Telegraph on Roberto Alagna being booed from the stage at La Scala. Jeez, that was only last week.
"The chattering classes." I'm envious. Well, I'm envious of the Callas thing, too, but coming up with "the chattering classes," now that's just the edge of greatness.
