Opinion💭by William Brooks Leadership calls for both personal inspiration and the ability to inspire others. Such was the legacy of journalist and author #MidgeDecter. She regarded serving and inspiring others as a responsibility. https://t.co/YG5k0vvgcc

"'Young man,' #MidgeDecter replied, 'someone who becomes a conservative for money is not a conservative.' She paused as he took in the point, then delivered her punchline: 'He’s merely a Republican.'” @McCormickProf, @DCExaminer https://t.co/PWXLhXIiow

A tough act to follow https://t.co/rE9NynSkIr via @JNS_org #midgedecter. Like a combination of a slap in the face and a warm embrace, her cutting through crap was simultaneously refreshing and comforting.

“#MidgeDecter was not just a trenchant critic of modern liberalism… She was also, and at heart, a shrewd observer of the human condition and sharp analyst of human frailty.” @PhilipTerzian @DCExaminer https://t.co/hz82aBSQCt

#MidgeDecter gave John Podhoretz “the greatest editorial advice I ever received, and it is advice I’ve passed along to others: Your job is not to be interesting. You are interesting. Your job is to be clear.” #RIP. Beautiful eulogy. @Commentary https://t.co/ByJl6kxRz0

Lovely remembrance of #MidgeDecter by @JosephBottum @nypost: "I shared an office with Midge in the mid-’90s, editing together at a job for which there wasn’t really enough work for both of us. And so we filled our days with chain-smoking and conversation." https://t.co/MbD9VfdErc
