50 Years Ago (and no, it isn't about JFK)

[This Baron of Mora]

While TV, libraries, and whatever else has been flooded with lots of whatever about whom I regard as an over-celebrated womanizer I wish to direct attention elsewhere.

Today, 50 years ago, two men died of literary renown:

Albous Huxley, a cynical pessimist that nevertheless gave us an important piece of literature exposing errors in the all to popular ideals of Henry Ford (Brave New World).

and C.S. Lewis, or Jack as he went by, the author of many well known books who has led many to the Faith while promoting 'dinosaurs' and a rigid rationalism. A personal hero of mine.

Great reminder, Baron. Thanks!

Those three men died within hours of each other. If you've ever wondered what the conversation was like in Heaven's Waiting Room while they were waiting to be called forth, Peter Kreeft wrote a marvelous little book about it.
