The Best and the Brightest
Dammit, David Halberstam died. He was one of the finest reporters - and finest writers - of his generation, and he will be missed.
(I imagine we can expect a story from Christopher Hitchens within the next day or two about how Halberstam was really a second-rate hack who slew children to collect their shoes.)

Hitchens is a little ill
Hitchens is a little ill-tempered, isn't he?
Regarding Hitchens, I hope
Regarding Hitchens, I hope you're wrong, but if he gets some of his drink on, you can never tell.
Halberstam was a great one, whose work I first saw in Playboy, back when I was still allowed to read it.
When I heard he died, I was taken aback. When I heard he'd died in a car wreck, while pursuing an interview, I was slightly less taken aback. Odd, no?
