Tom Lantos, RIP

The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress was warmly remembered in a memorial service today, with moving tributes by colleagues from Condoleezza Rice to Joe Biden... You could tell that this was a man whose life had really touched those around him, and especially his close-knit family. I didn't agree with all of his foreign policy positions, but it's impossible not to admire this kind, generous man with such a remarkable life, such resilience, and such unflagging dedication to human rights and liberty around the world. We need more like him in this town.
