Political columnist Robert Novak dies at 78
WASHINGTON - Political columnist Robert Novak, a diehard conservative, pugilistic debater and proud owner of the "Prince of Darkness" moniker, died Tuesday after a battle with brain cancer that was diagnosed in July 2008. He was 78.
His wife of 47 years, Geraldine Novak, told The Associated Press that he died at his home in Washington early in the morning.
A household face as co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," Novak had been a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times for decades. The brain tumor diagnosis came less than a week after he struck a pedestrian in downtown Washington with his Corvette and drove away.
