UW-Madison professor Stanley Kutler, 80, Watergate-Nixon historian, dies

Stanley Kutler, the pre-eminent historian on Nixon-Watergate, lover of words and the freedom to use them, and the sort of professor who considered providing inspiration to be part of his mission, died Tuesday. The longtime UW-Madison history professor and prolific writer was 80 and had been in ill health, according to his son, Andy.
