"Sir Clement Freud, who was the grandson of Sigmund Freud and whose eclectic career included stints as a British Army liaison officer at the Nuremberg trials, cookery expert, theater club owner, Liberal member of Parliament, newspaper columnist and celebrated wit on one of the BBC’s longest-running radio shows, died on Wednesday at his home here. He was 84."
