Lew: The Guardian’s hiring of Glenn Greenwald is very good news, coming as it does from the recent — and sad — death of Alexander Cockburn. This is but a further reflection of what I believe is going on in the world of thought: the synthesizing (and demise)  of the “Left” and “Right” and, hopefully, the reunification of classical liberalism (with its distrust of power, opposition to wars and police states, respect for individual liberty and property rights, etc.). Rothbard would have been pleased!!
