Christopher Hitchens lost his tough battle with the big C. But he won something that many want but few get. The admiration of folk on all sides including those who may have disagreed with him. The function of a public intellectual is to make people think. Sadly fame is the accompaniment to being such a soul. In my book fame is a lethal drink and a world based on fame is likely to forget that the things that count are values like tolerance, democracy, helpfulness and non-idolatry. The best public intellectuals lead us to confront the values at our core.
