>> Subject: Edward Said

>> Dear Colleagues,
>>
>> It is with great personal sorrow that we inform you of the death of
>> Edward W. Said, today, the 24th of September, 2003, at approximately
>> 4 p.m. EST.  Edward had been very ill for the past couple of weeks
>> and last night he was re-admitted to the hospital (he had been
>> released last week and was thought to be recovering).  However, it
>> was not to be and this afternoon, he was taken off the respirator and
>> died shortly thereafter.  For us -- and we know for the entire
>> academic community as well as everyone who had believed in
>> Palestinian sovereignty, not to mention the self-determination of
>> oppressed and exploited people worldwide -- this is a loss that will
>> never be overcome.
