RIP, the Dostoevsky of Cold War thrillers. He showed how enemies can end up mirroring one another—and the truth of Nietzsche’s warning, that when you long gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
