He was a columnist and literary critic at Vanity Fair, Slate, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry and a variety of other media outlets. He was named one of the world's "Top 100 Public Intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Britain's Prospect.

That interviewer really is a nutter. He looks like a pygmy next to Hitchens and Amis, two intellectuals totally, totally beyond him. The lame attempt at a leading question at the start was painful to watch.
This player is beyond bad, sound quality is awful as well.
Interviewer should be executed.
This interviewer is really annoying. Hitch, you shine ... all the best!!!

Decent!
So disappointing to hear a personal hero say civilization must support the Jewish state, if they stopped robbing other peoples land because "the book" tells them to, which is ironic regarding Christopher's other views,then maybe supporting it may not leave such a bad taste in the mouth.
