Regarding Jessica Anderson's obituary on Theo Lippman Jr. (Dec 7), his columns on politics and presidential history were delightful. On the days his columns appeared, it was the first piece I read on The Sun's editorial page.
In May 1994, Theo was the guest speaker at the annual dinner gathering of Baltimore law clubs. He was not fazed by speaking to a room full of lawyers, most of whom consider themselves very good writers, and Theo used the opportunity to critique and poke fun at the legal profession. But, as David Simon was quoted in the obituary, he delivered each barb in a way "you don't feel it going in."
He's been missed by many of your readers.
