from the NY Times
FRANKLIN, Tenn., March 3 (AP) — Harry Browne, who twice ran for president as the Libertarian Party candidate, died on Wednesday at his home here. He was 72.
The cause was Lou Gehrig’s disease, said a family friend, Jim Babka.
Mr. Browne, an author and investment adviser, received 485,134 votes for president in 1996 and 384,431 in 2000. He never held elective office, Mr. Babka said.
Mr. Browne wrote 12 books, which sold more than two million copies in total, the party said in a news release. They included “Why Government Doesn’t Work,” “How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World” and “Fail-Safe Investing.”
