One of the cooler things we saw at NPR headquarters on our vacation last week was the NPR archives. Our tour guide, Alan Stone, took us into a temperature controlled room filled with shelves and shelves of audio files (and even a toaster oven, which once the archivists used to dry out old audio reels). In the back of the room, he pointed out the “obit” shelf: box upon box, each labeled with the names of a famous person, and each containing scripts, audio files and news clippings about those who just might die in the near future. (Boxes included Liza Minelli, the Pope, Saddam Hussein, etc.) The one box our guide pulled out and opened to show us was that of John Gotti’s …. who died yesterday at the age of 61. The contents of that box made it on the air yesterday. Kind of spooky.
