Nat Hentoff is the real deal.

His mind is still sharp at 87 years old. I don’t agree with many of his other positions but I know he uses reason to arrive at them.

Yes, Mister Hentoff is the real deal. What throws many regarding this great thinker is the nuance he always indulges his readers with, when he offers his opinions. In that he is much like the late Jack Anderson.

He is Pro Life, yet claims to be an atheist (probably an agnostic in reality). He believes in self sufficiency yet supports government intervention to aid the poor. He touts excellence yet ... well, you get the picture. Nat Hentoff is not a simple read. His sharp mind has always found the vagaries of any major issue worth exploring, to find the 'path of least action', to borrow a phrase from Physics.
