I didn't realize he was still alive and/or writing.

I remember him from the WSJ editorial page in the 1980s.

I thought he retired when The Beltway Boys did!

Re: “I remember [Albert R. Hunt] from the WSJ editorial page in the 1980s.”

Most likely on the Op-Ed page or the front page.

Hunt was WSJ’s chief Washington news correspondent for many years. Hunt has always been a Leftist.

Many people, but probably not you, are shocked to learn that the WSJ news division has been Left or center-left on every major political issue for at least the last 40 years.

The WSJ editorial page and National Review magazine were my Conservative instruction manuals from the 1960s until the 1990s.

Tragically, WSJ’s legendary editorial page editor, Robert L. Bartley, started moving to the center around 1994. He became more and more strident about open borders immigration, and he gave more and more authority to RINOs like Paul Gigot, who eventually replaced Bartley in 2001.
