<p> DIED. Henry Fairlie, 66, feisty British-born chronicler of
U.S. politics and more, after a stroke and heart attack; in
Washington. Born in London, Fairlie came to the U.S. in the
mid-1960s. His long analytical pieces on subjects from the
parliamentary system to American conservatism were marked by
witty erudition. "It is we who drive the politician to use
jargon, words that evade and obscure the truth," he wrote in
1984 about the decline of oratory. "It is we who make them say
that troops are `advisers,' that war plans are `scenarios,' that
invasions are `incursions.'"
