The NY Times columnist. He wrote on their op ed page until 1991.
Tom Wicker, Journalist and Observer
He was a liberal with a capital L. A great writer, who stated his positions rationally and with fairness, especially compared to the dodos the Times has had since then (Collins, Rich, Herbert, Brooks, et al).
In 1990, just before he retired, I wrote him a letter questioning his pro-choice/pro-abortion position. He sent me a nice note back.
Anyway, I wish he hadn't retired and had kept going, even if only with a weekly column.
