Los Angeles Times
Catherine Seipp, a nonsmoker who was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago, died Wednesday. "She had a distinctive voice and a truly interesting sensibility," says
Allan Mayer, who hired Seipp in the 1990s to write a Buzz magazine column that monitored the Los Angeles Times. "Almost regardless of the subject she was writing -- journalism, politics, social affairs, trends -- you could count on her to have a well-thought-out but unpredictable take." More recently, she wrote a column called "From the Left Coast" for National Review Online. || Read bloggers'
