Veteran American journalist and longtime overseas correspondent, Patrick Lawrence, who is now foreign affairs columnist for Salon, has written an interesting piece on Dan Berrigan for his journal/blog.

Journal Entry #11

Patrick writes that one of the things prompting his essay was a recent lunch with Ray in an Irish pub in Washington. Last December in Moscow, Patrick conducted a long interview of Ray, which Salon published in two parts (on February 8 and 14). Drawing on that as background for his blog piece, Patrick draws a link between Dan Berrigan and Ray – one that Ray can only hope to live up to.

Below are links to the two-part Salon interview:
