Just have hope even They struggle and gave hardships, but with hardworking or perseverance, life becomes a better life than death. In dying, we are left with hopelessness, endings to be able to see what maybe the future could bring to us. Perhaps, still with a bit hardships but not for long if we work hard to a better future.

Very well told story. I am a former NY Times employee, though I worked there long after this incident, and I disagree with them publishing an op-ed from this sociopath. It was an appeal for him to be able to donate his organs after execution and I believe that it was the final piece of his plan to be published in the same outlet his journalism hero once worked for. He manipulated Finkel into giving him writing lessons so that he could become a published writer from prison. He knew that he was going to be found guilty but he still wanted to fulfill that one last part of his fantasy: a byline in the NY Times. Longo clearly has a personality disorder where he sees himself as deserving to have life's luxuries and the adoration of people at all costs.
