>>  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.
