I saw this segment and am really looking forward to this doc, which is getting good reviews so far (although reviews have said it kinda glosses over Hunter’s last few, less productive years).

BTW, Wikipedia says the last in his fascinating collection of personal letters will finally be published in Feb. ‘09. Cant wait!
