  1. Ben Sasse, in an interview by Ross Douthat.

    "How would you live if you knew when you were going to die?

    When Ben Sasse announced last December that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, he called it a death sentence, but he noted that he’d had one before the cancer too. We all do."

    I could not stop listening to Ben in this fascinating interview. On life, on death, on polarized politics and academia...

    Hate to see you go... :(

  2. Politics aside, this is sad news. Former Senator from Nebraska has terminal Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He is 53. This is a devastating disease that killed celebrities like Patrick Swayze and Aretha Franklin as well as everyday Americans. RIP, my dear Pamela Jean.
    Research is desperately needed.
