Writer and political activist Mike Marqusee, who "enjoyed an intellect as dazzling as it was unique" and "made the most of a boundless curiosity and a powerful memory to educate himself, and others, about a kaleidoscope of topics," died January 13, the Guardian reported. He was 61. His books included Redemption Song: Muhammad Ali and the Spirit of the Sixties and If I Am Not for Myself: Journey of an Anti-Zionist Jew.
