Peace and farewell. A class act who always made me consider different ideas when he analyzed topics. In his farewell letter from a couple of weeks ago he wrote this line which i admire:

I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking.

an interesting guy always seemed well thought out, very smart. On DC area local TV for decades it seemed, given a moment of silence at the Nationals game tonight.

A great intellect and not a mean bone in his body. His commentary was always well researched, rich on facts and objective analysis, and thoughtfully delivered. It’s sad to see him gone.

I agree, if one wanted to debate him one better had done one's research.

An inspiration to all. Every column was thought provoking. A loss to our society. You will be greatly missed, Dr. Krauthammer.
