A Don Cornelius solute: Love, Peace and "Soul Train"

It was a horrendous shock to hear that Don Cornelius had died Wednesday morning, Feb. 1, at his home in Sherman Oaks, California, at the age of 75. He had been enduring what he described as “significant health issues” (strokes and brain surgery) and apparently couldn’t take it anymore, so he ended his life.

In a season that has seen offenses run wild at times, both the Giants and Patriots defenses came to play and produce some old fashioned smash-mouth action. In a relatively low...
