Studs Terkel, Listener to Americans, Dies at 96

His show was always lively, as were his books. In many ways, he was the American chronicler of the 20th century. RIP.

Mr. Terkel was a Pulitzer prize-winning author whose searching interviews with ordinary Americans helped establish oral history as an important historical genre.
