"The body of Brian Doherty, 57, senior editor of the libertarian magazine Reason, was found Thursday "after a fall" in the Battery Yates park portion of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The National Parks Service's law enforcement agency confirmed it responded to an incident at Battery Yates on Thursday "involving a male visitor who reportedly fell from the cliffside into the water.""
"Doherty was the author of several books, with Reason saying his most notable work was the 2007 study "Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement." "Doherty has rescued libertarianism from its own obscurity," the Wall Street Journal wrote of the work, "eloquently capturing the appeal of the 'pure idea.'""
""Brian Doherty was the best kind of libertarian: one who holds true to the principles of liberty as they are," Dean said in an email. "He was a tireless champion of both gun rights and police reform who wrote books on both [former U.S. Rep.] Ron Paul and Burning Man; his work did not sit on either the 'left' or 'right' side of the authoritarian box.""
