Sen. Ted Stevens was not one of the surviors of last night's plane crash in Alaska that killed five persons.

Ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe and his teenage son were among the four survivors. More details on survivors and the crash here.

Among his legacies: Bringing to public attention the issue of the Government concealing exculpatory evidence in criminal trials.

    ...Senator who died?

    That he was beautiful. That he loved Nixon and Reagan. And the inter-tubes. And me. Once when he specifically lumped me with those political types, I asked him what the order was, and he replied, smiling, "the corporations." At the time, I smiled too. But now I sit and wonder whether he meant the corporations by their payoffs--in which case I would ....
