Michael Tackett`s coverage of the Ryan White funeral began with an unfortunate choice of words. He said that ”the famous and the common” went to honor Ryan.

This is a trite, however popular, way of dividing the population; i.e., those not making a living in the spotlight relegated to ”the common.” This type of categorizing does a disservice to all those who grieved for Ryan.
