"Speakeasy has been entertaining ourselves the last few days by leafing through a new book that landed on our desk: “The Quotable Christopher Hitchens.” As the subtitle — “From Alcohol to Zionism” — suggests, there are few subjects that Hitch hasn’t addressed in his long career, mostly with trademark acid wit.

This sounds like a wonderful book and coincidentally feels like a sign-off. Im very sad at the state of things. That 5% chance of survival is becoming more and more of a relevant estimation. It will be a sad day in the world of intellectual debate if we lose the man who wears the crown. -Blair
