- <p> DIED. I.F. Stone, 81, maverick journalist whose biweekly
- newsletter became one of the capital's most influential
- publications; of a heart attack; in Boston. Proud of his
- exclusion from the Establishment press, "Izzy" Stone pored over
- public documents to come up with exclusives other journalists
- had missed. In his later years he taught himself classical
- Greek, using the knowledge to land "one last scoop": The Trial
- of Socrates, a 1988 book in which Stone portrayed the
- philosopher as an elitist whose contempt for average Athenians
- compelled them to execute him.
