Reporter Michael Hastings, Dead at 33
"Great reporters exude a certain kind of electricity, the sense that there are
stories burning inside them, and that there's no higher calling or greater way
to live life than to be always relentlessly trying to find and tell those stories.
I'm sad that I'll never get to publish all the great stories that he was going
to write." – Rolling Stone managing editor Will Dana
