Yeah, you were pretty lucky. The man was a giant. He did a lot to further libertarian thought, but I'm afraid he'll go unappreciated for awhile. He p***d a lot of people off, didn't he? The left-libertarians never forgave him for turning to paleo-libertarianism (for lack of a better word), and the right never fully accepted him either. Too idiosyncratic I guess. I was first drawn to him by the power of his writing. He wielded the pen like a sword! And showed no mercy to his enemies, but always with a twinkle in his eye. I was a charter subscriber to the Rothbard-Rockwell Report. I stopped getting it shortly after Murray died. It just wasn't worth the money anymore, even though they tried valiantly to stay afloat with some great fill-in writers, nobody could match Murray's fire. The days the RRR would arrive in the mail, nothing else got done until I read everything Murray wrote. I read For a New Liberty* a few years ago. I always thought that if there was one book that succinctly laid out the entirety of libertarian thought in one volume, that was the one.
