We remember Nate Hentoff who was born in Boston on this day in 1925. He died in 2017. This is what Bill Katz wrote about him today:
He was one of my idols, one of the last of the great, honest, liberal journalists who pursued the truth wherever it led.This is the obituary from The New York Times.
He was pro-life, which could have easily gotten him banished from the circles in which he traveled.
He called out Communist infiltration of institutions.
He was fiercely pro-freedom. I don't know of anyone like him today.
