The man who staged the 1959 "Kitchen Debate" between Krushchev and Nixon and coined one of my favorite lines. "nattering nabobs of negativism" is dead at age 79.
Speechwriter and columnist William Safire died of cancer and was one of the intellectual bright lights of the Nixon era and a respected pundit in the years after.
It's always a loss when a good writer passes.
