    Jack Haldeman Dies

    SF author Jack C. Haldeman II died Jan. 1 in his hometown of Gainesville, Fla., following unsuccessful treatment for cancer, according to reports on the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Web site and in The Gainesville Sun. He was 60.

    Haldeman published more than 100 short stories and novellas and 10 novels and collaborated with Harry Harrison and Jack Dann. His 1982 story "High Steel" (with Jack Dann) was nominated for a Nebula award. He also published articles in scientific journals and poetry in a variety of magazines, the SFWA site reported.

    Haldeman is survived by his wife and sometime collaborator, Barbara Haldeman; a daughter, Lorena Haldeman; and a brother, SF author Joe Haldeman, the Sun reported.

    Dave Thomas always made me think of that old Huey Lewis song. It's Hip to be Square.
