Jonathan Schell dies at 70; author of The Fate of the Earth

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of author, Jonathan Schell, on March 25th. Most noted for authoring “The Fate of the Earth,” a study of the devastation that the use of nuclear weapons would cause, Schell was also a critic of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war. While forceful in print he was a soft-spoken man in person, with quiet compassion and reasoned dignity. His voice will be greatly missed.
