Stewart Alsop ” the best

Stewart Alsop " the best political columnist of the past century": Well, that's high praise from William Safire in a New York Times editorial today. Stewart of course has been known as a technology columnist, author of a great Tech newsletter " PC Letter", and inventor of the " Vapor List" where he tracked software vendors' promises against reality. Stewart has since gone to the dark side and the world of Venture Capital.

What I never knew was that Stewart had been, apparently, a political columnist of some note!

Correction: In fact, the reference by Safire was to another Stewart Alsop, the father of the Stewart Alsop that I know and I mention above. Oops. Stewart Alsop the elder in fact was a political columnist of some renown until he passed away in 1974.
