John Leonard

I'll really miss his great reviews.  I was always so amazed at how prolific the guy seemed.  With each issue of Harper's he'd have his standard review where he gave his shortish take on three or four new books each month.  Then I'd pick up a copy of the NY Review and he'd have a longish review there.  And then he'd have a review in The Nation one month . . . I don't know where he found all of the time to read all of these books, let along write thoughtful, wide-ranging essays on them.
