LONDON - Clive James, an Australian journalist, joker and intellectual who had a long career as a writer and broadcaster, has died. James’ representatives, United Agents, said he died Sunday at his home in Cambridge, and a private funeral was held Wednesday. James been diagnosed with leukemia and emphysema, and he suffered kidney failure in 2010. “I am a man who is approaching his terminus,” James said in 2012. He later assured well-wishers that he intended to live a few more years — and he did, continuing to write and broadcast until almost the end.
