ART BUCHWALD: LAUGHING LAST. Art Buchwald, who fantasized about having a lavish New Yorky memorial, wound up buried in Martha's Vineyard. But none of that stopped the dead humorist's friends from roasting his corpse at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. (the historic district where there is still taxation without representation).

Anecdotes can be found here and here.

And here's Caprice Bellefleur on Buchwald.
