Hitchens Update

Just to keep people who admire him beside myself aware of his continuing struggle with cancer.

The link inlcuded: Once, he reminds me, Cyril Connolly said “There is no more sombre enemy of good art than the pram in the hall.” Mr. Hitchens understands what that means, but he doesn't necessarily agree.

Connolly can thank Month Python for mentioning his name at the end of "Eric The Half A Bee." That is how I recognized the name. It rhymed with, "semi-carnally." You can look it up.

Connolly's quote and Hitchens' endorsement show their common and banal egocentricity.

Hitchens in Hitch 22 wrote that he learned that his mother had aborted a sibling elder to him and a sibling junior to him before his brother Peter was born.

Connolly and Hitchens, I pray for you both, like it or not.

Thanks for your post.
