Apparently, Martin GARDNER died yesterday (http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/05/23/0030207/Science-Luminary-Martin-Gardner-Dead-at-95)
He was a great man, both of recreational mathematics, and of promoting proper education among people.
His book about fads and fallacies in science was IMHO awesome
I've read some of his stuff. It's sad to see him go.
