David Halberstam Dies in a Car Crash in Menlo Park, CA

I am very sad to report that Pulitzer Prize winner David Halberstam was killed in a car crash in Menlo Park, CA (just south of San Francisco). Mr. Halberstam visited Bloomington only last month to give a very moving lecture at the Buskirk/Chumley Theater about the tragedy of the war in Iraq.

A full story about Halberstam can go read in an article in the Los Angeles Times (free subscription required).
