@alexios13 Fair enough. Although I think young journalists seem to imitate CH's bad habits (drinking, sloppiness) and not him at his best.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@alexios13 Hertzberg's virtues -- clarity, historical awareness, grounded political commitment -- easier to emulate than CH's strengths.
