[haw-info] sad news about Howard Zinn

[Jim O'Brien]

Members and friends of Historians Against the War,

For those who have not already heard, we are very sorry to pass along the
news that Howard Zinn died today of a heart attack while visiting in
California.  He was 87.  There will undoubtedly be many stories in coming
days, but the following is one that appeared this evening in the
on-line *Boston
Globe, *with basic information and a number of quotes*.*

Howard was a near-icon among anti-war historians, and HAW was proud to have
him as a keynote speaker at our first national conference, in Austin, Texas
in February 2006.  We join his legion of friends and admirers worldwide who
will miss his eloquent and principled voice.
