JVL in his piece about P.J. O'Rourke wrote: "No matter who you were, he’d talk to you." In the mid-90s I was an undergrad and tagged along with a friend who was going to interview P.J. for the student newspaper. I thought I'd get to say 'hi' and maybe shake his hand. Six hours later and many drinks at the hotel bar, P.J. gave us the best college seminar in Political Science and English rolled up into one. Truly a kind spirit.
