Profile for BKLYN8567

It's big shoes to follow, and I really didn't know much of Daniels other than dumb and dumber, but after Newsroom and Looming Tower, I feel fairly confident he'll do a great job with this.

Did you know him or any of the "Chicago" people?For me, I admit I didn't know his name except as a name in a Playbill. I feel so sad to know his name onlybecause ofthis tragedy.

Is this Reidel guy a known hack/bad reporter?Far from an expert in the theater world, but caught wind of the news when it first started getting traction and have been following it ever since, which led me to this board.Just kind of surprised at the response to the article, since its the first one to mention "sources" that somewhat contradicts some (not all) of the accounts from Jeff's notes.
