We remember Nat Hentoff (1925-2017)


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.  
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.
This is the obituary from The New York Times.
