Remembering Art
“I don’t know how well I’ve done
while I was here, but I’d like to think some of my printed works will persevere — at
least for three years.”
—Art Buchwald (1925-2007), Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and
humorist, in one of his final columns, published after his death. This month, the
Library of Congress acquired 100,000 Buchwald papers. See Caitlin Gibson’s “Art Buchwald’s archives are bound for the Library of Congress. He would have been thrilled,” The Washington Post, Jan. 3, 2018. Image: Charles Bennett/AP, 1977.
