REMEMBERING CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER My dear Charles ASHINGTON — Charles Kraut- hammer, a man who has beaten unbelievable odds and overcome Wobstacles that would defeat most mortals, has finally encountered one foe over which he says he can’t claim victory. In a note to readers Friday, he announced that he has only a few weeks to live following a battle with cancer. The nobility with which Charles has con- ducted his life was as-ever apparent in his brief note. With his customary writer’s conci- sion and his physician’s precision, he ex- plained his circumstances without sentimentality. A tumor had been removed from his abdomen early on, he re- ported, and though his pros- pects for recovery had seemed COMMENTARY good for a while, the cancer re- turned and is moving rapidly. Most people don’t get to say Kathleen goodbye and almost none as Parker eloquently. He thanked all who California results suggest blue have helped him along the way, including colleagues as well as his readers and television viewers, “who have made my career possible and given wave has crested and ebbed consequence to my life’s work.” In the final two paragraphs, Charles he nation is just past tricts’ results. state and special elections, summed up his life and principles: “I believe halftime in the 2018 pri- Democrats feared that the “Democratic overperformance that the pursuit of truth and right ideas mary election cycle. combination of California’s is concentrated in red states through honest debate and rigorous argument TTwenty states — con- having a “jungle primary,” in and districts that shifted red in is a noble undertaking.
