One of the greatest writers of the past 30 years died last night at a hospice in Maryland.
William Safire, writing for the NYT Op-Ed section died last night of pancreatic cancer. Safire originally wrote for the Republican's in the Nixon Administration and moved on to the NYT as their 'token Republican' on a liberal editorial staff. He wrote all the way up to the last 30 days of his life.
May we all, as writer's, have the courage to write our perspectives in the face of opposing views and popular trends, no matter what the subject.
"All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke, Member of the British House
