EXCERPT:
[Re Allen Quicke, obituary, Aug 18] I am shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Allen Quicke. Asia, indeed the world, owes much to him. Asia Times Online is a newspaper like no other: broad-minded, and distinctly different. Many voices jostle, some hardly heard elsewhere. That is exactly as it should be. I also owe Allen a personal debt of gratitude for publishing my pieces on Korea. It is a privilege to appear in these columns.
The man is gone. That is too sad. Yet his work and vision will live on. Requiescat in pace: rest in peace.
