Oh, dear! The poor man!

He had such a great vocabulary, and a very subtle sense of humor.

I can remember when his brother Michael Halberstam, a famous physician in DC, was murdered by a burglar whom he surprised.

Mr. Halberstram was a contemporary of my dad’s, both being sportswriters. They spoke together at the New School in New York back in the early 1980’s. He was a very nice man.

Another illegal alien-caused crash like the one that killed the “Christmas Story” director?

It was the intrepid Halberstam who first revealed that in December of ‘92, President-elect Bill Clinton dismissed Lee Hamilton’s request to discuss some urgent foreign policy matters, telling the shocked Hamilton, “Nobody cares about foreign policy.”

May he rest in peace.

A real shame. He wrote some good books. The Children is a spectacular book on the Civil Rights Movement. He actually was a reporter covering it in Nashville.

His book the Summer of 49 was a real good baseball book, about the ongoing rivlary between the Red Sox and Yankees.

RIP David Halberstam

Mr. Halberstam was a great author. May he RIP.

The range of his subjects always impressed me. He was equally adept at writing about Politics, Business or Sports. Two of my Halberstam favorites were The Breaks of The Game, one of the best books about basketball ever, and The Reckoning, which was a fascinating examination of the auto industry.
