The US is in a gloomy state as one of the chief editors dies. Sir Harold Evans, the charismatic publisher, author and meddler who was a bold-faced name for consecutive 10 years as he exposed wrongdoing in 1960s London to publishing 1990s best-sellers such as Primary Colors, has died, his wife Tina gave this information on Thursday. He was aged 92. His wife, fellow author-publisher Tina Brown, declared that he died on Wednesday in New York from congestive heart failure. Evans was a high-profile go-getter, he began as an editor of the Northern Echo and The Sunday Times of London in the 1960's.

More recently, he served as a supporting editor to US News and editor-at-large for The Week. In 2011, he became an editor-at-large for Reuters, a leading daily.
