[lbo-talk] FW: Edward Said passed away yesterday

[andie nachgeborenen]

A terrible, an irreparable loss; he was a giant, a
geniunely great scholar, an honest and principled
fighter for justice, an exemplary man of the left.
They broke the mold when they made Said. First Arthur
Kinoy (yesterday), them Edward Said. the greats are
passing. Arthur at least was ancient. Said was taken
from us much too soon. jks
