Sachinism Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 British-born author, literary critic and journalist Christopher Hitchens has died at the age of 62. He died from pneumonia, a complication of the oesophageal cancer he was suffering from, at a Texas hospital. Vanity Fair magazine, which announced his death, said there would "never be another like Christopher". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16212418
Texy Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 RIP :(( Brilliant man....I used to work at M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston...world class cancer facility ....his malignant tumor was quite aggressive...another example of smoking kills
f.b.m Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 RIP :( It looked like he would make an unlikely recovery until quite recently.
Ram Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 This is a big loss for me.. I am not going go lie - there have been evenings when I have done nothing but watch hitchens videos for hours on end... There are a lot of people/personalities who come and go by in your life...but very few have a material impact on it...hitchens changed the way I looked at things, forever. Whether you agreed with his point of view or not, his message of independent thinking and free enterprise has univeral appeal. Thank you for everything, Christopher..you will be missed..
