    Thanks, Wade. I think among his last books, Why are we at War and ….
    the castle in the forest are probably books that belong on required reading lists.

    I disparage the ways in which various columnists came out with railing, envious bitchiness AFTER he died but four pages long as though they’d been working on them since first signs of his final illness. He was what he was. Once he wrote about Pappy Bush (1991) his days were probably numnbered. But the aHOLES sure came out of the woodwork on this one. Norman was indelibly HUMAN. That lack shows in someone who would disparage the dead out of spite. Sickening
