Roger has never minced words, even before he was a TV star and famous for
trading zingers with Gene Siskel (Roger won more of those than he lost, 
IMHO, and I always thought Gene's replacement was never in the same league,
either as a movie critic or a sharp-tongued debater.)

I think he probably said what most of the folks at the Sun Times were 
thinking, far better than most of them could have said it 

I especially enjoyed his barbs about the Sun Times ownership over the 
past few decades.
