Well today the New York Times has vanished behind a paywall.* I refuse to subscribe because they run travesties like this Tyler Cown piece on Medicaid expansion. They do have good stuff somtimes though, like this interview with Dave Eggers:

Christopher Hitchens was the most erudite and eloquent human I've ever met. He could speak on any topic, and hour of the day or night, at length, and captivate anyone in the room. I didn't agree with all of his politics, but he was always an extremely warm and generous man.

 And he was very funny.
