Raymond William Bradford, founder and editor of Liberty magazine, died of cancer last month. I first ran into R.W. Bradford in 1998 or 1999 when I co-authored my first article for Liberty magazine. He never paid anyone (or at least never paid me, or anyone else I know who contributed) for our articles. For us, like him, it was a labor of love. Because I never met Bill, I had grown to know him through the pages of Liberty, which was and is an excellent read, a compendium of witty snippets about life and longer articles about the meaning of freedom and liberty. Here's an obituary from the Seattle Times: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002678581_bradfordobit12m.html Stephen Cox is now editor-in-chief and Liberty magazine will continue; you can subscribe here: http://libertyunbound.com/ Reason's Brian Doherty and Jesse Walker knew Bill far better than I did.
