GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) - Louis Rukeyser, a best-selling author, columnist, lecturer and television host who delivered pun-filled, commonsense commentary on complicated business and economic news, died Tuesday at his home. He was 73.
Rukeyser died after a long battle with multiple myeloma, a rare cancer of the bone marrow, said his brother, Bud Rukeyser.
