Remembering Nat Hentoff

When I was a teenager, I wrote him a very early obituary

Before I interviewed Nat Hentoff, I asked his advice on technique; it was my first time.

He said: When you’re done, ask the person: Is there anything I’ve forgotten to ask you? Sometimes there is the best part of your story.
