It was with shock and sadness that we learned of the sudden death of our friend and collaborator Bob Brubaker, of a severe asthma attack at his home in Numazu, Japan. Bob died in the night of April 23-24. Memorials for him were organized by friends, coworkers and his students in Japan; by his family in Pittsburgh; and by friends in Detroit.
In a future issue we will publish more about Bob’s contributions to the Fifth Estate and to the antiauthoritarian perspective in general. Friends of his who may have unpublished fragments from letters and other writings should contact us.
For now, we can only express our deep sense of loss and our condolences to his family.
