Political Columnist Robert Novak Retires
Sun-Times political columnist Robert Novak retires
Robert Novak has announced his immediate retirement following the diagnosis of a brain tumor, a prognosis the Sun-Times' political columnist describes as "dire."
"The details are being worked out with the doctors this week, but the tentative plan is for radiation and chemotherapy," Novak said.
The Evans-Novak column was first distributed by Publishers Newspaper Syndicate on May 15, 1963, with the New York Herald-Tribune, the flagship newspaper. When the Herald-Tribune folded in 1966, the Chicago Sun-Times became their home newspaper.

That's horrible news, he has been an anchor in a sea of incompetence, I hope he beats this.

We are losing our classy conservative commentators, the real ones, not the entertainers. It seems bleak.
