Usually it's the Examiner who has the long time celebrities on the cover, but this week the Globe is trying to capitalize on the geezer market with three different stories about people who were famous when I was in grade school.

This is yet another example of the tabloids assuming that anyone who enters a hospital is soon to be visiting the morgue.

Adding the part about him dying is the special touch the Globe threw in just to make it interesting.
