Great video! Loved it. Even suffering...Hitchens revealed his profound knowledge base, ubiquitous worldly wisdom--and an interesting wit! Here is a remembrance from one who shared work space with Christopher back ijn the day...

"...By this point in the day, I knew all his plans for the evening, including the 11-ish rendezvous for cocktails. I wondered how he would be able to read this book and write a review by the next morning. But come the following day—after the calls about the previous night and the calls about the lunch to come had started—he'd trundle into the office, Pochoda would show up, and he'd hand her a 1,500-word essay. And it was—you know the punch line—brilliant. Did I mention this was in the days before computers? Next, it was off to lunch..."
