While I am as interested in gossip just as much as anyone else, the reference
to Katrina vanden Heuvel as a "lush' is not appropriate on a list such as this.
This kind of thing would be more appropriate when you are writing a biography
and you want to make a rounded assessment of a life.
Those who know me will recall that for much of my life I was a "lush' as well.
Without suggesting that alcohol abuse is a good thing I remind you of something
I read some years ago. Of the seven Americans who at that time were recipients
of the Nobel Prize in Literature, five were alcoholics, one was a problem
drinker and the other was Pearl S. Buck.
Interesting, but does it help us assess their work?
