One of the great sportswriters passed away Feb. 27 at the age of 93.
Among his other works was a little book, written under the pseudonym of “Richard Hooker” (and with a collaborator), that would later become a wildly popular TV show about the Korean War. You might remember it as M*A*S*H.
From his obituary in the Washington Post:
He covered the Selma civil rights marches for Look magazine in the 1960s and edited books on boxing. But his writings on sports and war continue to draw younger readers and are regarded as models of the craft.
