Robert David Sanders, also known as Robert Novak or Bob Novak died yesterday, August 18, 2009. He was a well-known syndicated columnist, journalist and conservative political commentator.
Last year, August 4, he announced that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and that his prognosis was "dire" so he has to retire; but his passion for writing never ceased and so, on August 27, 2008, still wrote opinion columns for Creators Syndicate.
