After 30 years on the movie beat, N.Y. Daily News critic Jack Matthews is packing it in and heading off to Oregon to write books. (Specifically “a long-gestating novel about the college co-ed considered by many to have been the Zodiac’s first victim — a murder I covered as a cub reporter,” he says.) Jack is a good fellow, shrewd but fair-minded, known and liked by everyone…best to him. I will never stop banging it out. One is either busy being born or busy dying. I know where I stand. Die at your desk.
