	NOW with Bill Moyers. Transcript. Bill Moyers Interviews Nat Hentoff . 2.28.03 \| PBS
		NAT HENTOFF: What I would do is what William Sessions, former head of the FBI, former head of the CIA said in criticizing the Attorney General's dragnet approach to this sort of thing.
		NAT HENTOFF: Because you-- the-- you know the Attorney General said, "There is no expectation of privacy in a public place like a church or a political gathering." But there is no expectation that the person next to you is an FBI agent recording what you're saying and the fact that you are there.
		NAT HENTOFF: And it was Dick Armey, when he was the hou-- House Majority Leader, who se-- stripped from the-- the Homeland Security Bill something that had been put in by the Justice Department and approved by the President.

		Nat Hentoff has spent a lifetime defending the Bill of Rights and is a widely acknowledged authority on the First Amendment.
		Nat Hentoff: Long before 9/11, long before Bush came into office, there were people in the Justice Department who wanted some level, say, of the Patriot Act, and later executive orders, but they couldn’t quite get them in.
		Nat Hentoff: One thing is, unlike Ashcroft, who is sort of a lightning rod because of his rather confrontational nature, Gonzales is mild mannered, soft spoken, generally referred to as a nice guy, and very manipulative.

	Archive \| April 1999 \| Nat Hentoff, the last honest liberal
		Hentoff has been set against Clinton ever since the '92 campaign, when the then-Arkansas governor left the campaign trail in New Hampshire to supervise the execution of convicted murderer Ricky Ray Rector, a retarded man who arguably was not responsible for his actions.
		Hentoff is pro-life, and in 1992 he wrote his most famous apostasy with the left, "Pro-Choice Bigots," for the New Republic.
		Hentoff bashes the ACLU for its support of legalizing assisted suicide-"ignoring its effects on the severely disabled for whom that fatal decision would be made." Columns like this show a generosity of spirit often lacking in the "party of compassion." Hentoff told me he considers himself a "lowercase libertarian."

		Hentoff tells sadly of the deterioration of New York's Village Voice, once as vividly unpredictable as it is now a museum of political correctness, and of his hopes for its reinvigoration under its current editor-in-chief, Don Forst.

	The Blog \| RJ Eskow: To Nat Hentoff: Stop Practicing the New McCarthyism and Join Us \| The Huffington Post
		I feel obligated to respond to Nat Hentoff's assertion that "blogging anti-Semites had [Sen. Joseph I.] Lieberman in their sights," since I'm one of the two bloggers whose posts he cites.
		Nat Hentoff has been a hero of mine since I was a teenager, so it pains me to say this, but we need to call this behavior by name: it's an ugly new form of McCarthyism.
		Here's Hentoff's first mistake: he, either accidentally or deliberately, confuses "bloggers" and "commenters." I, not the person he quotes, am the "blogger." My piece is the "post." The Huffington Post, where it appeared, is the "blog." The person Hentoff quotes posted a "comment." He is one of many such "commenters," representing all points of view.

		Nat Hentoff has prepared a concise and frightening book that arms the reader with basic knowledge about John Ashcroft's assault on our civil liberties.
		With the basic, truly American values and principles of the Bill of Rights in jeopardy, Hentoff shows that the Bush Administration's USA PATRIOT act has placed at risk the basic freedoms for which Sam Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine fought to establish.
		You ought to read this book if for no other reason than you should be prepared to understand how far the FBI can go as they investigate "criminals" engaged in the "war on the streets" of America that Ashcroft describes.

	NAT HENTOFF READER, THE, Nat Hentoff
		The New York Times has hailed Hentoff's work as "an invigorating and entertaining reminder of why freedom of expression matters."

	Jazz \| JazzTimes Magazine > Columns and Features > Final Chorus
		From syndicated columnist to social historian, Constitutional scholar and music critic, Nat Hentoff has played many roles in the field of journalism since the 1950s, but none more notable in the eyes of jazz fans than his roles as leading jazz historian, biographer and anecdotist.
		Hentoff was co-editor of the short-lived Jazz Review from 1958 to 1961 and A&R director of the Candid label in 1960 to 1961, during which time he produced important sessions by musicians Charles Mingus, Phil Woods, Benny Bailey, Otis Spann, Cecil Taylor, Abbey Lincoln and other jazz giants.
		Apart from Hentoff's fame in the jazz world, he has also become a fixture in the debate over free speech; a dual-tasked spokesperson whose writing on jazz music and the First Amendment has done much to concretize the link between the two ideals.
