The link is to Josh Marshall's site where he shares his personal impression of Matsui. I don't think I ever met him directly - though I think I went to a speech of his once - but mine was the same.

A severe pity indeed. And though I should resist it, my heavens what a conspiracy theory could be made about it being a stem-cell illness that brought him down.

yeah Ned, you should have resisted that. Let's try to just grieve the guy on the merits of his life.
