Charles McKenzie (Mack) Taylor, 78, a real estate mogul who helped shape Atlanta's ritzy Buckhead neighborhood, died Saturday after battling Alzheimer's disease for more than a decade. He died at his home in the neighborhood he helped create. Novelist Tom Wolfe credits Taylor as the reason he wrote his 1998 book "A Man in Full," though the author says he did not base the book's main character on Taylor. He dedicated the book to Taylor and his wife, Mary Rose.
Max Rosenbaum, 85, whose son was killed in an assault that sparked violent race riots in New York in 1991, died in Melbourne, Australia, after suffering a heart attack, relatives said.
