Derek Davies, 71, who ran the Far Eastern Economic Review for 25 years and turned the magazine into a leading source of English-language news and analysis about Asia, died Sunday of liver cancer in Antibes, in southern France.
Davies joined the Hong Kong-based Review in 1962, when it was printed on a single sheet of paper, and became editor two years later. When he retired in 1989, the Review had expanded into a magazine with a weekly circulation of 75,000.
