In the words used to eulogize the great and celebrated men and women of the world, we come as close as we perhaps ever will to seeing the warm humanity beneath their public personas. In Farewell, Godspeed, Cyrus Copeland has gathered some of the greatest of these writings about artists, scientists, writers, public servants, entertainers, and others who have captured our attention by making the world a better or at least a livelier and more pleasant place. Here is Earl Spencer recounting how his sister Diana connected with people in need. Here is Andy Warhol's close friend describing Warhol's hidden spirituality. Here also is Ted Kennedy remembering with an uncle's tenderness the life of John F. Kennedy, Jr. In these moving tributes we see at last the vulnerabilities and nuances that are often hidden from the spotlight. Among the eulogies included are those of the Challenger astronauts by President Ronald Reagan; Charles Schulz by Cathy Guisewite (creator of the comic strip Cathy); Marilyn Monroe by Lee Strasberg; Bob Fosse by Neil Simon; Lucille Ball by Diane Sawyer; Martin Luther King Jr. by Robert F. Kennedy; David O. Selznick by Truman Capote; Karl Marx by Friedrich Engels; and Gianni Versace by Madonna..
