Slate magazine has a nice collection of stories about Hitch: See their front page. Hopefully they'll archive them all in a single location soon.

Too bad. I know he could be controversial and somewhat dogmatic, but I could not help but nod my head and pump my fist when he talked. He was a guilty pleasure of mine. RIP
