Bob Woodward published what may have been the last interview with former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who died yesterday.
Said Powell: “I’ve got multiple myeloma cancer, and I’ve got Parkinson’s disease. But otherwise I’m fine.”
He added: “Don’t feel sorry for me, for God’s sakes! I’m 84 years old. I haven’t lost a day of life fighting these two diseases. I’m in good shape.”
