Legendary talk show host John McLaughlin dies

Television host John McLaughlin, who every week for more than three decades hosted a boisterous public affairs show, died Tuesday morning, the program's staff said.
McLaughlin, a former Catholic priest who became a pundit in the 1970s after writing speeches for President Richard Nixon, was 89.
His final public message to his fans was on Aug. 13, when he explained on his show's website that he had missed recent tapings because of poor health.
