Thanks for the attention to Sheed's inimitable style, his wit and his way with a sentence. He was one of a kind. I read two of his novels, but didn't think they were what he did best. It was the shorter pieces, the articles and especially the reviews, that sparkled. I would often read one through to see what he thought about the case in hand, and then find myself unable to resist reading the piece over a few times more just to savor the way he put things. And I must admit that when Sheed wrote for Commonweal, I usually read his bits first. I've read lots of reviews,written lots myself, even been a book review editor, but I've never enjoyed a reviewer's work more than Sheed's. It's nice to be reminded that the Commonweal Archives can be browsed for another look at the work of  a master of the form.
