The rumors circulated today that Noam Chomsky had passed away are NOT true. This has been confirmed by his wife, Valeria, in our phone conversation today.
A few major publications have taken down their obviously pre-prepared Chomsky "memorial" articles that were posted hours ago. A little rigor & decency is in order above the race to be first. Let's honor Chomsky's example in this way.
