The news was heartbreaking.
Charles Krauthammer revealed last week that doctors have told him he has but a few weeks left to live. Despite being paralyzed due to a freak accident when he was young, Krauthammer graduated from Harvard Medical School, achieved renown in the field of psychiatry, and then became a Pulitzer prize-winning columnist. His articles are brilliant and as one of the leading intellectuals of our times he made the moral case for Israel on a consistent basis better than perhaps any other journalist.
Only just a month ago the Washington Post reported that Krauthammer said he appeared to have recovered from an operation to remove a cancerous tumor last August and was cancer free. All that changed last week. In a profoundly moving public letter to his readers and friends Krauthammer wrote, “However, recent tests revealed that the cancer has returned and is aggressive and rapidly spreading. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”
