Josh Marshall over at TalkingPointsMemo has a rather touching story about meeting one of his idols, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Being an historian myself and an admirer of Schlesinger's work, I can imagine the sort of excitement Marshall had in talking to one of the most important American historians of the 20th century. Marshall met Schlesinger at the party held recently for the The Week's first annual awards in opinion journalism, where TalkingPointMemo won for the best blog.
