Studs Terkel, R. I. P.

Chicago icon Studs Terkel dies :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State: "Studs Terkel turned the voice of average Americans into a font of history.

The Pulitzer-Prize winning author, television pioneer, theatrical actor, long-time radio host, unrepentant leftie and friend of the little man, died peacefully at his home on the North Side of Chicago this afternoon.

He was 96."
