   My father died tonight, December 16, a month shy of his 96th birthday.   
   Norman Podhoretz passed peacefully and without pain, with a new   
   translation of The Odyssey on his desk that had been sent to him by his   
   friend Roger Hertog. It sat next to a copy of Alexander Pope's legendary   
   translation, which he had asked my sister Naomi to order for him so he   
   could compare the two.  At the very end of his life, Norman Podhoretz was   
   his truest self, a man of letters.
