I am sorry to even be posting here as I usually try to shy away from such a debate, but after reading one of these articles above I have to.

Tillman had the best of both brawn and brains. He was a college graduate who subscribed to The Economist magazine, whoŽd kept a daily journal since high school, who passionately studied World War II history and the works of writers as diverse as Winston Churchill and radical anti-Iraq War scholar Noam Chomsky, and even had an appointment to meet with Chomsky when he returned stateside.

So he had "brains" or was a "smart" individual just because he subscribed to a certain magazine and kep a journal? Well hell, half of the known world should be considered Einstein and given the Nobel Prize or something for all the magazines and journals we read.
