At the time and since, I've had the wish that people would cease
mentioning
the name of the killer. This is to discourage the idea that someone can
become 'famous' by killing someone else who is well-regarded. So I welcome
your reminder of the anniversary, but wish you hadn't mentioned the
killer's name.


I've heard the suggestion made that that was, in fact, the motivation of
John Lennon's killer. It certainly seems to me to be an infinitely more
likely cause than that this murder was the result of a politically-inspired
conspiracy.
