The American Spectator Remembers WFB [Mark Hemingway]
I spoke with The American Spectator's founder and editor R. Emmett Tyrrell yesterday, and I wanted to pass what he said about WFB:
Of all the great sports figures and intellectual figures whom I'd known in the last 30 years, Bill was one of the few who could qualify as a great man. We're all very sad. Bill is famous for standing athwart history and shouting "Stop!" Today, I wish I could stand athwart history and shout "No! Don't tell us Bill's gone." But of course he is, but he'll always be with us intellectually and I guess I'll never be as successful at shouting "No!" to history as Bill was at shouting "Stop!"
