Obituaries
Former head of Random House Robert L. Bernstein, 96, who lead the company from 1966 to 1990, died in Manhattan on Monday. Bernstein was also founder of Human Rights Watch.

Pulitzer Prize winner for THE RISE OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT Edmund Morris, 78, died on Friday following a stroke. Morris was also known for his unconventional book about Ronald Reagan, “in which the author inserted himself as a fictional narrator, a device that baffled and angered some historians.”

Another Pulitzer winner, author and historian Tony Horwitz, 60, died suddenly in Washington, DC on Monday while on book tour for Spying on the South, confirmed by his wife Geraldine Brooks. He was due to appear at Politics & Prose on Tuesday night.

Bookselling
Philadelphia’s Penn Book Center in University City, scheduled to close at the end of May after 57 years of operation, will stay open at least through the summer, buoyed by renewed support from the community. Co-owner Michael Row said, “We’ve figured out, by working with Penn and other parties, how to cover our holes for the summer. We’ve got a lot of options to look at. It’s not really a guarantee that we can survive, but more time to think it through.”
