Peter Huber (Screenshot via FORA.tv/Youtube) A beautiful mind was taken from the world, but his ideas through the legacy of his words will continue to help illuminate our future. Peter Huber, a longtime senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute; a founding partner in a successful Washington, D.C., law firm; a polymath and prolific author of a dozen consequential books and hundreds of essays and op-eds; influential analyst, intellectual powerhouse, and seer in matters from the role of science in the courts to telecom competition and environmental regulation, as well as energy and health-care policy — all issues of as central importance now as when he first wrote about them — died on January 8 in Hanover, N.H. He was 68.
