Every week, it seems, brings another death of somebody either an important part of the conservative movement or whose honest work outside the movement served the cause by confirming movement assertions and beliefs. In that latter category was Linda Lichter, who with husband Robert continued to use pure, unchallengeable, even-handed methods to measure and report on media bias -- and of course, being honest, they found that the bias is overwhelmingly leftward. Linda Lichter also wrote a charming book on Victorian chivalry. She did great work when she was alive, and died too young, and apparently without warning, at 53. She will be missed. Our hearts and of course our prayers go out to Robert. RIP -- and in God's love.
