William Safire
Former New York Times columnist William Safire died of pancreatic cancer on Sunday.
Safire spent 30 years writing material dealing with words–their usages, their meanings, and their evolution. His work was fun to read, intelligent, and very informative.
It’s not often that a newspaper column consistently performs as an educational experience. I fondly remember finding and reading his column first when I would pick up a copy of the Times.
I’ve missed his regular column since he retired, and I will miss him as well.
