You can got to restore the republic and I'm sure get updated. Last I heard, he was out of journalism due to cancer. He was in Canada for a time, but may be back now as his websites are back up. It was kinda chilling to read his statement when he pulled the plug on everything. But that was a few months ago. When I enquired I was told he was in partial remission, and back in the ring. I haven't checked the status recently.
