Timothy Noah
One Wednesday in November 1983 I told Charlie I was going up to Philadelphia the next day to have Thanksgiving dinner, and that I'd be back first thing Friday. "This place is going to hell," he said. I thought he was joking. I chuckled and went back to work. About 20 minutes later he came back and said, "I guess you can go."
Gregg Easterbrook
The day that I met Charlie, he took me to lunch at the Iron Gate. He told the waiter to bring a carafe of wine, then turned to me and said, "Do you want something to drink?"
