A man, a columinist and a Washingtonian that I feel one could always trust. He has been the strength of many of the conservative voters and to loose him is absolutely tragic, especially at this time. I am terribly sorry he is facing this daunting health issue. My best to Mr. Novak and his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Novak and his family. I hope he is able to battle this tumor with the same determiniation he has shown throughout his life.
