In Part 2 of David Brooks’s 2007 Sidneys, I found an excellent story from the too-often drunk and strident Christopher Hitchens.

Hitchens had supported the American invasion of Iraq, and his writings saying so were part of what convinced Mark Daily to enlist. When Hitchens learned of Daily’s death “in theater” he felt the expected doubt and regret.

This Vanity Fair story is about Hitchens’s efforts to work through his feelings, and will probably make you cry. Well, at least it made me cry.
