Goodbye, my beloved friend. A great voice falls silent. A great heart stops. Christopher Hitchens, April 13, 1949-December 15, 2011.

Goodbye, Christopher Hitchens. You were envied, feared, adored, reviled and loved. Never ignored. Never bested. A great and marvellous man

I ran into Hitchens at Library of Congress one morning in 1987, we went & got drunk at noon, & then one of us (him) went back to work.

The world's a poorer, duller place without Christopher Hitchens.

I met #Hitchens in '83 and we argued amiably ever since, once til 3 am. In awe of his wit, erudition and lubricated work ethic. Very sad.
