CHICAGO (Reuters) - Studs Terkel, who chronicled America's history by letting common people tell their own stories in books like "Working" and "The Good War," died on Friday, his publisher said. He was 96.
Terkel, born Louis Terkel in 1912, regaled listeners with earthy yet high-minded banter for four decades on his Chicago-based radio show. The cause of death was not immediately available, a spokesman at the New Press said.
