Studs Terkel Dead at 96; Author, Radio Host, Activist, and Baseball Fan Remembered
Studs Terkel died on Friday. He was 96 years old. A Pulitzer prize winning author, long-running radio host, and political activist, Terkel's work touched on everything from the Great Depression to World War II, American race relations to the lives of working people, jazz music to his own life, which he wrote about in a memoir, Touch and Go, released a year ago when he was 95.
Terkel's far-ranging interests and areas of inquiry might explain why so many writers approached his death from their own beats.
