This is sad news. I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Silver in 2005, and he was not only brilliant, but also very accessible. After the on-air interview, he gave me his phone number in NYC and his personal e-mail to stay in touch. He knew I was a libertarian, and he was very open-minded and inquisitive. I found out a while back that he used to host political-economic discussions for his entertainment industry friends, and the only stipulation was that people had to be open to ideas and respectful.
I think many people will miss not only his business acumen, his acting talents, and his wit, but also his thirst for learning.
RIP.
