| June 19, 1936 - June 16, 2003 People who read Playboy magazine for the articles are probably familiar with the work of Asa Baber. Through his column "Men," he has championed the cause of men's liberation. His best-known book, "Naked at the Gender Gap: A Man's View of the War Between the Sexes," is a collection of his columns, but Baber has also published a novel ("The Land of a Million Elephants") and two collections of short stories. "Naked at the Gender Gap" made him a popular guest on talk shows. Baber was born in Chicago, where his mother was a journalist, and attended Princeton University and Northwestern University. He also has an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa. Before coming to "Playboy," he taught at Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey, and the University of Hawaii.
In September 2001, Baber was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. On the morning of June 16, 2003, Asa Baber passed away at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
