Persistence.

I didn't say that - the barista (male - why is a feminine noun applied to both men and women?) in the expresso joint next door did. I liked Hitch's Clinton book a lot.

Yup, though he's been much too friendly to Bush for my taste.
I like Hitchens too. His turn makes me sad - I don't think of him as evil or anything.
