DIED. JUDE WANNISKI, 69, conservative journalist who, as an editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal in the 1970s, coined the phrase "supply-side economics" for the theory, later embraced by Ronald Reagan, that tax cuts spur production and growth; of a heart attack; in Morristown, N.J. A tireless publicity hound, he went on to advise G.O.P. candidates and write the economics tome The Way the World Works, prompting fellow conservative George Will to write, "I wish that I were as confident about something as he is of everything...
...increasing death toll in Iraq and believe that the U.S. is actually winning. That kind of thinking reminds me of the surgeon who announces, "The operation was a success, but the patient died."

And sometimes possessed of a tart sense of humor, as when Roberts replied to a professor anxious about being blacklisted because he had lodged a complaint against a government agency: "Once you let the word out there's a blacklist, everybody wants...
DIED. JACK SLIPPER, 81, Scotland Yard detective who, despite his reputation as a master, will be remembered for his thwarted global pursuit of nemesis Ronald Biggs, one of the masked men who robbed a night mail train from Glasgow to London of £2.6 million ($7 million) in what became known as the Great Train Robbery of 1963 and who, though caught, soon escaped jail; reported in London. Slipper tracked Biggs to Rio de Janeiro in 1974 (greeting him with "Long time no see, Ronnie!"), but Brazilian officials refused to deport Biggs, who remained a fugitive until 2001, when...
