Newsman Lu Haas dies
Lucian Haas worked for the old Daily News and was a leader of the Los Angeles Newspaper Guild in the 1940s and 50s. He later worked as a press secretary for Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown and a longtime field deputy for U.S. Senator Alan Cranston. Former Daily News and L.A. Times reporter Paul Weeks emails that Haas died in his sleep and was probably 86 or 87.

Thanks, Kevin, for helping me spread the word to all the alumni of the "good old days" that Lu has fallen before he could finish attacking all the evils that have crossed his path and his pen for more decades than most of your readers have been around.
