- <p> DIED. A.J.P. Taylor, 84, influential British historian and
- journalist; in London. A tutor and fellow at Oxford University
- for 38 years, Taylor was a prominent media personality--with
- regular newspaper articles and television appearances--and
- an accomplished scholar who wrote more than two dozen books,
- mainly on European history. His book The Origins of the Second
- World War was roundly criticized by some for its argument that
- Hitler was not uniquely evil and that war might have been
- avoidable through diplomacy. Despite Taylor's preference for
- scheduling courses at 9 a.m., students flocked to his lectures.
