Sidney Harman, the stereo equipment magnate who bought Newsweek and sought to revive the floundering magazine, died last night of complications from acute myeloid leukemia, reported Deal Journal colleague Russell Adams.
The Daily Beast, which joined forces with Newsweek last year, published a statement from Harman’s family: “He died in Washington, D.C., a city he loved and supported in so many ways, surrounded by his wife and children,” the statement said. Harman’s wife, Jane Harman, is a Democratic congresswoman for California.
