Ginzburg, RIP

Ralph Ginzburg passed away in 2006 -- I don't know why I didn't know this earlier... He was quite a character, calling himself a "brandied fruitcake of a publisher," and a legend.

As the Washington Post points out he didn't always win his battles regarding free speech, but he sure tried.



The Shadow has great info about Ginzburg too.

Here you can listen to Ginzburg discuss the First Amendment on NPR.
