Arthur Spiegelman

Art was unique. A great journalist, terrific writer and above all a lovely guy, who knew that one of the best things about our business was that it was fun. He was always the sparkling center of any news team we got together, whether the conventions or the Gulf War. Amid all the pressure and hassle, Art saw the funny side, which made him such a great guy to be with. And his writing inspired all of us. He will be sorely missed. They just don’t make them like that any more. Go well, Art. ■
