Danielle -- As the first son of a Canadian mother, as a long-time libertarian newspaper guy.... As someone who interviewed hundreds of smart celebrity newsworthy pundit people like some guy named Frum while toiling at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and later Mr. Richard Scaife's Pittsburgh Tribune Review... As a friend of the Terzians ... I too, despite our ideological differences, had the great pleasure of meeting -- and falling for the charms of -- the great Hitchens when he came to Pittsburgh around the same you were getting drunk with him in DC. Here among the reprints of my many Q&As and feature stories I've archived on Substack is my mid-1990s encounter with him. https://clips.substack.com/p/christopher-hitchens-and-the-lie Here is a later story about the fun I had crashing a Kissinger lecture with Hitchens and that Bernard Henri Levi troublemaker from France -- with photos. https://clips.substack.com/publish/post/32241315
No matter. What a lovely comment and links. Thank you! I can only say you are the lesser for not interviewing Mr. Frum but perhaps that can be rectified. Either way very much appreciate your comments!
You're welcome. Hitchens made a lot of great memories for a lot of people across the political spectrum who thought they didn't like him until they met him in person.

Correction: Sorry, I seem to have lied in my attempt to get your attention. I did not interview Mr. Frum after all. Can't find any record of it.
