happy birthday, a.j. liebling

A.J. Liebling would have celebrated his 100th birthday today. He's not around to do so, but many people aren't letting that detail stop them. Journalist, contributor to the New Yorker, and "formidable eater," he loved Paris and wrote about it and its food lovingly in Between Meals. The New Yorker has posted a great piece by David Remnick on its web site--it's both a great introduction and a lovely reminder of Liebling and his contributions.
