As part of my recent move, I came across a collection of books, including his book on Roller Derby "Five Strides on the Banked Track".
RIP

Dammit. He was one of my favorite commentators on NPR, too. I swear he just retired like two weeks ago...

One of few good memories of high school was sitting at my desk before class and reading The National. Great writer, great speaker and a voice that could relax the most maniacal.
