In this March 5, 1990 file photo, author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., right, leads a group of picketers outside the Random House Publishing Co. to protest the closure of their Pantheon Books division in New York. Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-five" and "Cat's Cradle," died tonight, his wife Jill Krementz said.
