The six o'clock news just reported that noted journalist and historian David Halberstam died in a car accident in California today. I'll have more information about him later but I wanted to note that he will be missed. Over the years I've spent many hours listening to him speak on C-SPAN. Halberstam earned a Pulitzer at the age of thirty for his work on Viet Nam.
Update 6:48 pm: Here's a link to the International Herald Tribune Story. (For more information about David Halberstam, click here for Wikipedia entry.)
