Jay Nordlinger noted earlier this week the guilty pleasure he shared with Robert Bork, namely reading the obituaries in the New York Times. It’s interesting that the Times obituary today of actor Dean Jones — most famous for his roles in various Disney movies — discusses his becoming a born-again Christian in the 1970s, his subsequent work in Christian-themed films (one of which my Sunday school class used), and his founding in 1998 of the Christian Rescue Committee — now the Christian Rescue Fund — “a support group for Christians, Jews and others who have been persecuted for their faith.” The Associated Press obituary, run by the Washington Post today, is fairly lengthy, too, but doesn’t mention any of this.
