Cramer (Simon & Schuster: New York, 2002. p. 3"]

He died of liver failure, having suffered from health problems throughout adulthood.

The paleoconservative Steve Sailer strongly critiqued him after his death, referring to Breindel's 1983 arrest for buying heroin, among other episodes, [ [http://isteve.blogspot.com/2007/06/tamar-jacobys-late-ex-husband-heroin.html Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog: Tamar Jacoby's late ex-husband / heroin junkie / neocon extraordinaire ] ] but Lawrence Auster defended Breindel against Sailer's charges. [ [http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/008103.html Eric Breindel and Steve Sailer ] ] The Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism was established in his memory.
