His column was one of the better reasons to read Scientific American,
back when it was worth reading.

I didn't know about the Humpty Dumpty magazine. That was early reading
for me, in my (doctor) father's office waiting room. Then I, along
with Mr. Gardner, progressed to Scientific American - he as a
brilliant writer, and I as a stumbling reader.

RIP.

BTW, his philosophy on religion would have made for some interesting
discussion in this group. Too bad he never joined in.
