Ted Turner has died

As one of the most important figures in media history, he oversaw a vast cable empire of news, sports and entertainment channels.

More from the article: A former classmate, William Kennedy, who went on to become a Brown University official, was quoted in "Citizen Turner" as describing young Ted as "a bigot, as maybe all of us were in a sense at the time."

Mr. Turner, he said, drank excessively, sang Nazi songs outside a Jewish fraternity house and put up Ku Klux Klan signs on the dormitory doors of Black students. He was finally tossed out of Brown after being caught in bed with a woman in his dorm room.
