Hentoff

‘The Pleasures of Being Out of Step: Notes on the Life of Nat Hentoff’: The critic Nat Hentoff is the subject of this engaging 2014 bio-documentary from the director David L. Lewis.

Hentoff lived a rich and colorful life; he was known primarily for his work in the jazz world, editing the magazine DownBeat and even producing several jazz albums; he also wrote for The Village Voice, primarily in the realm of politics and civil liberties.

“Under the First Amendment, governments cannot retaliate against anyone based upon the viewpoints that they express on any issue,” said Thomas Hentoff, a partner at the law firm Williams & Connolly who specializes in First Amendment law.

And Hentoff got The New Yorker to devote a whole forty-five pages of print to Marie, and later Hentoff expanded those pages into a full biography.

One man tells Hentoff that Marie was different from the other doctors.
