Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Dies

Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and “court philosopher” of the Kennedy administration who remained a proud liberal even as others dared not use the word, has died. He was 89.

Schlesinger was dining with family members in Manhattan on Wednesday when he suffered a heart attack, his son Stephen said. He died at New York Downtown Hospital.

…

Schlesinger had six children — four from his first marriage, to the author Marian Cannon, and two from his second, to Alexandra Emmet.

Rest In Peace, Arthur.
