I agreed with him more often than I probably should have -- which still wasn't all that often. I never found him strident, but he was always a powerful thinker with good ideas. He seemed willing to change his mind and was not afraid to tell you that he had changed his mind.

He was not simply a giant of conservativism, he was a giant of civil discourse.

He will be missed.

He was rich from birth
which affords a certain distance . . .
