SADLY – NOT MANY MEN LIKE HIM IN THIS WORLD

—————————–Photobucket—————————–
Cancer may have robbed Christopher Hitchens of much of his hair, but no one could think it had taken any of his legendary knack for getting straight to the point.

“How am I? I am dying,” he says as an opener to a conversation with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, recorded at his own home in Washington DC with his “dearest friend” Martin Amis, the novelist, more or less ambling into view midway through it, a bottle of beer in hand. “Everybody is, but the process has suddenly accelerated on me.”

And in spite of the position he finds himself in, Hitchens sounds no less intellectually rigorous.
