FIRE Board of Advisors Member Nat Hentoff Joins Cato Institute
Nat Hentoff, the celebrated civil libertarian, jazz critic, and member of FIRE's Board of Advisors, has just joined the Cato Institute as a Senior Fellow. As Greg noted in a blog entry last month, Hentoff recently penned his last column for the Village Voice in January after more than 50 years on the job. Nat is certainly going to be busy in the coming months—aside from his new gig at Cato, he also has continued to write his nationally syndicated column and has two books coming out this year!
