And speaking of intellectuals and mortality, here are two interviews of Christopher Hitchens discussing his cancer treatment with Jeffrey Goldberg and Anderson Cooper. I like the Cooper one more, even though I think it’s a little slack to wear sneakers to an interview.
Hitchens warrants a mention in your Badass column too.
