Thanks for posting this. It’s wonderful to hear Mr. Novak is still alive and kicking. What a great service he did for America by writing his book, “The Prince of Darkness.” Anyone who hasn’t read that book is well advised to do so if they’re interested in how Washington works.
I particularly liked this:
“Support for me and promises of prayers sent for me poured in from all sides, including political figures who had not been happy with my columns. I’m told that President George W. Bush has not liked my criticism, particularly of his Iraq war policy. But the president is a compassionate man, and he telephoned me at 7:24 a.m. on August 15, six minutes before I went into surgery. The conversation lasted only a minute, but his prayerful concern was touching and much appreciated.”
This is freightening to say the least and it could happen to any one of us. God Bless you, Mr. Novak....we wish you well soon.
