Baron, a political analyst and Democratic Party activist, died of complications from diabetes and a stroke Friday. He was 50. Baron, who died in nearby Falls Church, published The Baron Report, a weekly newsletter on politics, for 10 years, beginning in 1976.

He was an occasional political analyst for The Wall Street Journal at the time of his death. He was well-known on the lecture circuit and appeared frequently on PBS' "MacNeil-Lehrer News Baron began his Washington political career in 1971 worked briefly on Iowa Sen. Harold Hughes' presidential campaign. In 1972, he worked for Sen. Edmund Muskie's presidential campaign.

When Muskie dropped out of the race, Baron switched to Sen. George McGovern's campaign. It was after a brief term as the executive director of the Democratic National Committee in 1972 that Baron went to McGovern's Senate office. He was fired in 1976 for actively campaigning against presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, whom McGovern supported. It was then that he started his newsletter, remaining close with McGovern until the end of his life.

By Richard D. Lyons The New York Times Kenneth Burke, a philosopher of language whose criticism and theories had a major impact on many, American writers and thinkers in the mid-20th century, died Friday at his farm in Andover, N.J. He was 96. The cause was heart failure, said his son, Michael. A prominent intellectual in Eastern literary circles starting in the 1920s, Burke was a poet, essayist, reviewer, novelist, translator, social commentator and writer of short stories.

His works were collected in more than 15 books. But Burke was more widely known in scholarly circles as a philosopher who concentrated on the deeper uses to which language may be put, as well as its true meaning and significance. He had a wide following among writers and an influence that reached far beyond his own writings. His often dense, theoretical criticisms were almost unknown to the reading public, and Burke himself was something of an obscure figure who was one of the founders a half-century ago of what was then called the New Criticism in America. Burke wrote that art and the artist must take priority over politics; that art should have a "hortatory function" that issues a call to action, and that "form in literature is an arousing and fulfillment of desires." His theories were presented in a trilogy: "A Grammar of Motives" (1945), "Rhetoric of Motives," (1950), and "Language as Symbolic Action" (1966).

His books included literary criticism, a collection of short stories, poetry and one novel, "Towards a Better Life," published in 1931.

from Warren United Methodist Church. Donald A. Stauffer, an English professor at Princeton University, in a review of "Rhetoric of Motives" published in The New York Times in 1950, said Burke's importance was in seeking to create a system for analyzing human thought as it manifests itself in expression or communication. Mr. Burke's dense system is like trying to squeeze a glacier into a snowball," Stauffer wrote.

"This is no book to take along to that lake in New Hampshire this summer." Burke's ideas influenced many American writers, including the critic Harold Bloom and the novelist Ralph Ellison. In 1941, the poet W.H. Auden described Burke as "unquestionably the most brilliant and suggestive critic now writing in Burke received the National Medal for Literature and a $15,000 prize at the American Book Awards in 1981, which honored him "for a distinguished and continuing contribution to American letters." Kenneth Duva Burke was born in Pittsburgh. He attended Ohio State and Columbia Universities but spurned formal. education to study on his own.

During his career, he translated such European writers as Thomas Mann, Oswald Spengler and Emile Ludwig, and he was a music critic for The Dial and The Nation. His first full-time job was teaching English on alternate weeks at Bennington College, where he stayed until 1961. He also taught briefly at Rutgers, Princeton, Harvard and other universities. The Kenneth Burke Society publishes a newsletter about the author from Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, Columbia County. BROWN Sat.
