\"\"<\/a>Tom Bethell, a British expat with one of the most graceful writing styles in Washington, passed away last month at the age of 84.\u00a0 For going on 40 years, Tom was a columnist for the American Spectator<\/em>.\u00a0 I wrote for the Spectator<\/em> in the mid-late 1990s, and Tom was always one of my fav folks to encounter at lavish Spectator dinners.\u00a0 He had a much better BS radar than most Washingtonians. His sardonic comments were often a highlight of the evening.<\/p>\n

Tom\u00a0 recognized how the phrase “matured” is used in Washington as praise for Republicans who betray their principles. And when a Republican himself brags how much he’s “grown,” he became a sure bet to win Tom’s “Strange New Respect Award” for sell-outs.<\/p>\n

Tom was a frequent guest on C-SPAN;<\/strong> his appearances from 1985 onward are available here. <\/a><\/p>\n

After coming to America in the 1960s, Tom worked as a reporter in New Orleans.\u00a0 I don’t know if his passion for jazz preceded that but he did write a book in 1977 on George Lewis: A Jazzman from New Orleans<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tom’s writing on jazz was quoted in the Ken Burns’ PBS history of jazz.\u00a0<\/a> Tom and I had a good palaver on Jelly Roll Morton<\/strong><\/a>, one of my favorite early jazz masters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I am indebted to Tom for his kind Wall Street Journal<\/em> review of Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty<\/strong> <\/a>(St. Martin’s Press, 1994). Tom recognized the need to document government depredations, as opposed to relying on the usual empty phrases castigating wayward bureaucrats.<\/p>\n

Tom wrote one of the best books on property rights, The Noblest Triumph: Property and Prosperity Through the Ages<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (New York: St. Martin\u2019s Press, 1998).\u00a0 Tom was a long-term visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.\u00a0 When I was there briefly as a media fellow in the summer of 1996, I had the chance to see that book in manuscript form.\u00a0 When the initial publisher was not wise enough to take the manuscript, I put him in contact with my editor at St. Martin’s Press, Michael Flamini<\/strong>, and that worked out happily for both Tom and St. Martin’s.\u00a0 Tom’s book deftly put property rights in a historical and philosophical perspective.\u00a0 One of my favorite lines from his book: “Private property institutionalizes justice.”<\/p>\n

Unlike many Washington writers, Tom did not go to the other side of the barricades in a pro-government panic after the 9\/11 attacks. He retained his principles and his wit.\u00a0 I saw him a number of times at the annual Washington reception by the Hoover Institution.\u00a0 At the 2007 reception, I tried to have a little fun wearing an Al Jazeera lapel pin. Tom aptly observed, “People are too old to see the lapel pin.”\u009d<\/p>\n

Tom is survived by his wife, Donna.\u00a0 The two of them were married for 24 years – a great blessing for them both.<\/p>\n
