- <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.'"
