Charles Krauthammer, an incisive and Pulitzer prize-winning commentator on the political scene since the ‘80s, who, incidentally, was a quadriplegic since his early 20’s from a diving accident, has died at the age of 68. He wrote his own epitaph touchingly well:
“I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking,” he wrote after being told he had terminal cancer just weeks ago.
“I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation’s destiny. I leave this life with no regrets.”*
A life inspirationally lived. Well done, Charles.
