Within days of reading about the possible skeletal remains of England's King Richard III being found under a parking lot in Leicester, England and writing about it and wondering if anyone will be still looking for Jimmy Hoffa after 500 plus years, comes the AP news story from Detroit that the police there are checking out a tip that Hoffa may lie buried under a driveway in a Detroit suburb.
A preliminary radar check of the driveway has found an "anomaly," and further soil forensic analysis is scheduled for tomorrow.
That Mr. Hoffa, having had so much to do with wheels and vehicles as President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, might be found under a driveway is perhaps anti-climatic. If confirmed remains are found it will of course still be news. An entire generation has come of age that likely knows nothing about Mr. Hoffa, teamsters, and the fact that his disappearance has never been fully explained.
Remember, we eventually found out who Deep Throat was. Life on other planets, who Carly Simon was singing about, and the remains of Jimmy Hoffa are what's left for most of the rest of us.
