Said died at a New York hospital, said editor Shelly Wanger. He had suffered from leukemia at least since the early 1990s.

Knopf is the same outfit fronting X42 for his "memoirs." Is Knopf the Regnery of the far left?
To: Alter Kaker
Did he explode himself??
Or did he just tell his people's children that suicide/homicide is the only option?

Can't say I cared much for his positions, but RIP Professor Said.

Good riddance.
To: Alter Kaker
Any mention of if Mr. Said went directly to hell? (Do not pass Go - do not collect ...)
To: Alter Kaker
Now that he's gone I'm sure there are many at Columbia who will step up to replace terrorism's Man on Campus.

He was really a very reprehensible person.
He incited anti-Semitic violence, he worked hard all his life to degrade and politicize American academia, he caused a lot of pain and damage in his career.
I'm sorry to say it, but we really are much better off without him.

Is pronounced Sa-Eed. But no matter. Is ironic that "academic" works most known for late professor, post-collonial study of "Orientalism," are completely omitted from obituary. It is perhaps wrong to speak ill of dead, but this man was bad (but very influential) scholar in addition to supporter of bad politics.

Perhaps Mr. Arafat should apply for the position.

I hate to burden this site with even more bad news but ...
FRIENDS OF the fabled writer Gore Vidal are sympathizing. His companion of more than 50 years, the charming Howard Austin, died in Los Angeles Monday night. Gore says there will be no ceremony until someday when he and Howard are both laid to rest in Washington's Rock Creek Cemetery near the monument to Henry Adams.

Let's just chalk it up to the process of a diseased mind.

Wasn't Said the guy suing Daniel Pipes for slander?

Speak only good of the dead - but I'll make an exception for Edward Said. The world is a better place today.

Said and Austin? Much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth...somewhere...I guess....
