We have all lost in Broder's death, for his sanity is badly needed today, more than ever.
Yet, we have all gained from his life. Can anyone offer more than he did?
Life is limited. Period!
But it remains, now, for the living, to learn what a good journalist like Broder can teach us.
And to penetrate the fog of political blather and empty-minded sloganeering, to discern just how history works, what democracy means and how a constitution can work ... and to bring a generous helping of common sense and decency to the public square.
And, by the way, he owned cabin on Beaver Island, Michigan - that, in itself, says a lot about the man's character.
RIP Mr. Broder - you've done your job, and you've done it well.
