74 years old (Born on May 26, 1950)
Happy Birthday, David Ignatius! Another year older and wiser—though we're still trying to decode if your novels are fiction or secret CIA briefings. Your thrilling tales like "Body of Lies" have kept us guessing who's spying on whom (and made us suspiciously eye our neighbors). Thanks for making espionage feel so dangerously entertaining!From the intrigue in "The Sun King" to the suspenseful twists of "Bloodmoney," you've masterfully blurred lines between journalism and storytelling. May this birthday bring you fewer plot twists than your books—but just enough excitement to inspire another bestseller. Cheers to more adventures, mysteries, and literary brilliance ahead!
