I'm not shocked. You seem to be intelligent man. I did not remember that about his eyesight. One of the oldie stations in my area re-runs Johnny Carson and I watched him on one from the 70's. I got a real good feel for what a humble, tough guy he was by listening to him in an interview. I've read many articles but not his autobiography.

Facts are stubborn things.
