The New York Times  today reported a death on October 18th,

Kauffman‘s fixation on the work of Spencer-Brown is perhaps in part

CLIPPED FROM The Californian , Salinas, California,
28 July 2001, Saturday  •  Page 25 —

The above 2001 article on Cruz Saddlery in Salinas is about the family
of "Sacheen Littlefeather," whose real name was reportedly Maria Louise Cruz.

For more about Maria/Sacheen, see yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle :

"Sacheen Littlefeather was a Native American icon.
 Her sisters say she was an ethnic fraud.
