a great journalist dies

David Halberstam, a journalist and author who won the Pulitzer Prize and exhibited a tremendously broad range of interests and expertise throughout his career, died today in a car accident.

There are going to be lots of stories about him tomorrow.

Perhaps the best tribute, though, is a list of his books, which you can find on Newsvine.

Here's an excerpt:

-- The Unfinished Odyssey of Robert F. Kennedy (1969)

-- Ho (1971)

-- The Best and the Brightest (1972)

-- The Powers That Be (1979)

-- The Breaks of the Game (1981)

-- The Amateurs: The Story of Four Young Men and Their Quest for an Olympic Gold Medal (1985)

-- The Reckoning (1986)

-- Summer of '49 (1989)
