There will be much, much more to write on this topic in the next few days, but let me be one of the first here at NRO to lament the passing of one of the great men of the conservative movement, in some respects the founding father of conservative reporting (slightly different from conservative opinion writing), and a truly wonderful human being, M. Stanton Evans. Steven Hayward wrote an absolutely beautiful tribute to Evans at Powerline, here. For now, let it suffice, until I and others here can find the right words to honor the man who did so much for conservatism and for our country.
