Today is National Columnists' Day in honor of Ernie Pyle, one of the greatest columnists in the history of American journalism. The day was set aside by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists to help remember Ernie and call attention to columnists. (Full disclosure: I am the current president of this organization. I'm still not sure how that happened.)
Anyway, to remember Ernie, read this , perhaps Ernie's masterpiece, called "The Death of Captain Waskow."
