Herb Caen, 80, the longtime San Francisco newspaper local columnist whose six-decade-long effort to report on the city's fans, foibles and fables made him something of a national institution, died of cancer yesterday at a San Francisco hospital.

He began writing his six-day-a-week column for the San Francisco Chronicle in 1938. He wrote for the San Francisco Examiner from 1950 to 1958, then returned to the Chronicle, where he worked until his death.
