NEW YORK As Web sites worldwide reported the death of columnist Art Buchwald today, The New York Times had one approach that beat them all -- Buchwald himself announcing his own death on video.
"Hi, I'm Art Buchwald and I just died," the late columnist says on the video posted this morning on nytimes.com, just minutes after his death was made public. The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer then goes on to discuss his life with reporter Tim Weiner, in an unusual embargoed interview conducted last July.
The video, in several parts, is here.
