Literary giant Tom Wolfe, who chronicled everything from hippies to the space program before turning his eye to fiction, has died. Wolfe was known for creating a "New Journalism" and writing bestsellers that defined eras of American life. His books included "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and "The Bonfire of the Vanities."
