"In fact, the only person who might be able to answer the question, who is the real Rick Stein is his wife and constant companion for the past 14 years, Susan Stein. Detectives say they were unable to interview Mrs. Stein, however neighbors say they witnessed her leaving the home the couple shared wearing dark sunglasses and a fedora, loading multiple suitcases into her car. FAA records show she purchased a pair of one-way tickets to Rome which was Mr. Stein’s favorite city. An anonymous source with the airline reports the name used to book the other ticket was Juan Morefore DeRoad, which, according to the FBI, was an alias Stein used for many years."

"She died just like my wife’s cousin Meredith died in Bethesda, herself a young mother, but if Maddie was a black guy from the Bronx found dead in his bathroom of an overdose, it wouldn’t matter if the guy’s obituary writer had won the Booker Prize, there wouldn’t be a weepy article in People about it."

The importance of Oscar the Grouch

4. Just because you’re grouchy, doesn’t mean you can’t also be kind

[Caroll] Spinney’s embodiment of Oscar also gave him a “heart of gold.” “He’s not evil, he’s not cruel, he’s just really grouchy,” adds puppeteer Laurent Linn. […] Indeed, what Oscar teaches children is that you can be grumpy but also compassionate and caring. The grumpiest people can still show kindness, too. We see this when Oscar reads to his pet worm Slimey, (“What terrible piece of literature will I read to you today?”) and, through his tiny friend, demonstrates a much softer side to his personality.  

5. Emotions can be confusing

Oscar teaches children about the complexity of emotions – and the way feelings can be linked in many different ways. “I’m sad because I’m happy. And I’m happy ‘cos I’m mad. I’m mad because it sounds sappy to be happy when you’re sad." 

 "Oh, I’m a mess,” says Oscar. 

 But that’s why we love him.
