POLITICO pays tribute to legendary conservative columnist William Safire, who died over the weekend.From the story by Jonathan Martin and Harry Siegel:
The pundit's authoritative take on a variety of interests flummoxed critics looking to pigeonhole him. He also wrote four novels, and many works of non fiction, including the "The New Language of Politics," a 1975 book later republished as "Safire's Political Dictionary" that's still read by political junkies, and "Before the Fall," a tell-all about the Nixon years. He even wrote a take on the Book of Job, "The First Dissident." And for a decade starting in 1995, he served on the board that awards Pulitzer Prizes to journalists.Word maven William Safire dies - Jonathan Martin and Harry Siegel - POLITICO.com
Ed Cox, a New York layer active in conservative circles and the son-in-law of Richard Nixon said that Safire "will be known for his intelligence and his grasp of public events and he contributed a lot to our national dialogue by his always insightful columns in the New York Times."
