Re: RIP David Halberstam
One of my favorite authors ever, whether on 20th century politics or 20th century sport. Summer of '49, The Fifties, The Breaks of The Game, and others; everything I've ever read of his is a gem. He was in great health, as I understand it; probably would have lived another twenty years if not for the wreck. Truly one of this country's great men of letters. Very sorry to see him go.
