Hitchens - RIP

It is a great sadness to report the death of Christopher Hitchens.  He was 62 and had been fighting cancer for some two years.  He was a Brit who never lost his accent and although a radical from the 70's he somewhat modified his stance on many things.  He was a frequent traveler to the hot spots of the world where injustice and violence are the every day norm.  He could speak eloquently about such matters and the constant evidence of man's inhumanity to man.  His writing in Slate and Vanity Fair will be sorely missed as will his always stimulating voice on things.  R.I.P. Chris, 1942 to 2011.
