New York Times
Abe Rosenthal passed away at 6 p.m. ET tonight, according to a Times
memo. The former New York Times executive editor suffered a stroke two weeks ago. "Brilliant, passionate, abrasive, a man of dark moods and mercurial temperament, he could coolly evaluate world developments one minute and humble a subordinate for an error in the next," writes
Robert D. McFadden. "He spent almost all of his 60-year career with The Times — he often called it his life — but it was a career in three parts: reporter, editor and columnist." ||
