Deaths of note from around the world:

Samuel Belzberg, 89: a feared corporate raider of the 1980s widely known for his philanthropy devoted to Jewish causes who perfected the contentious practice known as greenmail to build one of Canada’s foremost family dynasties, then reinvented himself as a successful private-equity investor. Died Friday night in a hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, after suffering a stroke.

Anne Forer Pyne, 72: a early feminist activist and writer whose use of the phrase “consciousness raising” helped make it a foundational principle of the women’s rights movement. Died of kidney failure on March 21 in Tucson, Arizona.
