Nat Hentoff is one of the good guys.
He is. I sometimes disagree with him on some points, but he is one of the old-line Democrats who were not enemies of the country. His party has left him behind.
Yes, he is.
I have been an occasional reader of his columns for decades (when they were available in local newspapers here) and disagreed with him about half the time. But I always considered Nat to be an honest man, and that counts for a lot in my book.
