Tim Russert was at the peak of his game when at the tender young age of 58 he collapsed and died from a heart attack at the NBC studios...

Reportedly he was a real workaholic.

Rest. This brings me, my friends, to the subject of self-imposed stress hell.

I am down to my favorite dirty dozen careers and am working hard on the most important word in my life: no.
