Via the [New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/25/obituaries/25CND-SAID.html?hp=&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1064507522-fNRNVvCww1z7Vvh7eejwlg&pagewanted=print&position= "NY Times, free subscription required") comes news of the death of Edward Said, who had been fighting leukemia for several years.
The obituary interestingly reflects our current cultural obsessions, I think; “Leading Advocate of Palestinians” makes the headline, while [Orientalism](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/039474067X/plannedobsole-20) doesn’t appear until paragraph 21.
His loss will be felt deeply, both within the academy and in the political realm.
