This just in from CBS News NYC:  Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22, is
dead.  I haven't found any links providing more details--it seems he had a
heart attack last night at his home on Long Island.  

Just heard a report on another New York news show.  Heller was 76.

I remember that Henry Musikar once quipped that Heller was "unipolar." 
Whether or not that was the case, the satiric expanse of Catch-22 simply
blew my mind.  It's not very far from the Zone, eh?
