Advertising giant George Lois has died at age 91.

Friends and fellow authors have spoken out on Salman Rushdie's behalf during a rally on the steps of the main branch of the New York Public Library.

His wife, fellow author-publisher Tina Brown, said he died of congestive heart failure, it was reported on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020. “He was the love of my life," Brown wrote Thursday in an email to The Associated Press. Evans came upon some writings by a Tina Brown that so impressed him he contacted the author, only to learn that “Tina Brown” was short for Bettina Brown, his future wife’s mother. With Brown, Evans had two children, adding to the three children he had with his first wife, Enid Parker. A special beneficiary was The New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin, who received a Random House deal for a book on the O.J.
