Robert Novak succumbs to brain cancer
CPAC 2008, Washington DC
This pic of me and Robert Novak was taken 16 months ago, at the Omni Shoreham in Washington. It was a cocktail before dinner, and Bob had been knocking back straight scotch, just like all the good newsmen of his generation.
I turned to my then-husband and said “That man is the undead.” Months later that was confirmed, when Novak was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer.
Robert Novak, Prince of Darkness and old-school journalist, died today at the age of 78.
