DIED. A.J.P. Taylor, 84, influential British historian and
journalist; in London. A tutor and fellow at Oxford University
for 38 years, Taylor was a prominent media personality -- with
regular newspaper articles and television appearances -- and
an accomplished scholar who wrote more than two dozen books,
mainly on European history. His book The Origins of the Second
World War was roundly criticized by some for its argument that
Hitler was not uniquely evil and that war might have been
avoidable through diplomacy. Despite Taylor's preference for
scheduling courses at 9 a.m., students flocked to his lectures.
