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. |

You bet he was on top of things. I read his stuff anytime I could get some.
I was programming and running life on my home made 8080 machine in the 70's. Just got a hexaflexagon program. Lots of mental work with him. Martin Martin H.
