Chris Kelly on Fred Thompson:
Obviously I'm missing something when it comes to the awesome charisma of Fred Thompson. Some of it is personal; I already have a father, so I didn't need Ronald Reagan. Some of it is professional; I once worked on a talk show that booked too many third-rate guests, and I had to write their padded introductions, so every time I hear Thompson described as "the star" of The Hunt for Red October, my joints cinch.
Here's Jonah Goldberg on Fred:

Just when I got used to him playing Arthur Branch. He was great and will be missed. If only they brought back Steven Hill...
jm4847, hah! Arthur Branch is a tough son-of-a-gun, that gives no quarter! I don't think I want that kind of President...

Schiff left the DA's office in 2000 to accept a role in coordinating commemorations of The Holocaust Project. Other sources state that he resigned from the position because the public thought he was too old to continue as DA, and because he wanted to retire from the rigours of public life. It has also been suggested that he was determined to run for election as a Judge of the New York Court of Appeals (the highest court of authority in the State of New York; unlike most jurisdictions, in New York, the name "Supreme Court" connotes the trial level court).
