I remember in the 90s when CSPAN on Fridays, with Brian Lamb hosting " Morning Journal", would have siblings on together. Christopher and Peter Hitchens were part of this format many times. Peter would look like he had a decent nights sleep and his clothes were recently laundered. He had had his breakfast tea. Christopher in his rumpled suit, probably without any sleep the night before, and recovering (or not) from being deep in his cups . The smoke from his last cigarette, recently put out right before he went on camera, still curling in the background. It was delicious to watch. The wit and banter was off the charts and also illuminating. Christopher was been gone a while now, but Peter (that ol' loveable grump) is still writing.

This is one of Peter's better recent efforts. The pic at the top grinds my corn. I would make it as difficult as I could when those instruments of the State tried to mask me >
