Sad news from the literary world. David Halberstam, one of my all-time favorite authors was killed today in a car accident.
When I was a sophomore in college, I was given the opportunity to have dinner with this remarkable man, along with a number of other students. I was able to sit at his table and talk with him about his many books, his illustrious career, and his time as an embedded journalist during the Viet Nam War. I left that meeting with a profound appreciation for his work, and I have enjoyed absolutely every book I have read by him.
If you haven't read any of his work, I highly recommend you give it a try.
To David Halberstam: a man with class, a humanitarian, and a great author; you will be missed.
Thanks for stopping by....
Tommy
