Irving Kristol, who died today at 89, was famously the godfather of neoconservatism, and he was the godfather of City Journal, too, having urged the Manhattan Institute’s then-president Bill Hammett 20 years ago to start a magazine.R.I.P indeed. My condolences to his friends and family.
It would be a wonderful thing to face your last breaths knowing that you did everything you could to make the world a better place. In that sense only, Mr. Kristol's death was a wonderful thing.
His was a truly magnificent life and the world will be poorer for his passing.
