Si Newhouse

Si Newhouse (S.I. Newhouse, Jr.), owner of Condé Nast and published of many magazines, including The New Yorker, has died at 89.

I knew almost nothing about him before his death a few days ago. David Remnick and Alex Ross's touching memorial articles provide a glimpse of a smart, curious, man who was interested in everything. Rest in peace; eternal gratitude for your life's work.
