Media titan Samuel Irving 'Si' Newhouse Jr. died Oct. 1 at his home in Manhattan. He was 89.: Newhouse bought and remade The New Yorker and Details magazines, revived Vanity Fair and bought and sold the Random House book empire. The family paid tribute to Newhouse, describing him as 'the first person to come to the office, arriving well before dawn' and a person who brought 'visionary creative spirit coupled with no-nonsense business.'
