I didnt know Peter Kaplan, the late New York Observer editor. But I teared up at this beautiful passage by one of the writers who worked with him. Judging by the dozens of tributes, he was a great man. He taught me how to be a writer. Even in the hospital in his robe with tubes in him, he wanted to nurture me. That was the reveal in Peters life: He loved the role of nurturing peoples gifts. All his creativity and glamour and insight he poured into others, and yes that gave him power. A lot of the celebration of Peter now is a reflection of that power; and the widespread grief includes many people like me, people who lost someone who so believed in them that he got them to believe in themselves, now what will we do? Thats the way well honor his spirit, to live up to what he thought of us, to show him, tapping his cigar in the clouds, that he wasnt wrong.
