Breaking: Robert Novak retires

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on their web-site

Robert Novak has announced his immediate retirement following the diagnosis of a brain tumor, a prognosis the Sun-Times' political columnist describes as "dire."

As noted when news broke that he had a brain tumor, noone would wish this on anyone.  In the earlier news it was suggested that Novak was taking a leave of absence.  This is the first that I see here that he's retiring.
