Writer with sharp words, William Safire, dead at 79

They say the pen is mighter than the sword.
This is one guy who showed me that.
Although an arch conservative in the old American mould he is.
One of my fav columnists, Safire is dead.
At a time when American journalism is in decline too, after failing to adjust to the Internet age.

Singaporeans will remember him, perhaps, for his run-ins with the Lees of Singapore - see here also.
