Hunter S. Thompson Commits Suicide at 67
The Tribune has it off the AP wire:
"Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairy-tale artist," Thompson told the AP in 2003. "You have to get your knowledge of life from somewhere. You have to know the material you're writing about before you alter it."
