Martin Gardner: Rest in peace, good old man (Richard Dawkins)

Martin Gardner (1914-2010) was one of the great heroes of the American sceptical movement. He also helped generations to enjoy the fascination of mathematics, in his long-running 'Mathematical Games' column in Scientific American. During his last year I was privileged to visit him, in his retirement home in Norman, Oklahoma. He was old and frail, but immensely lively, and brimming with youthful intelligence and curiosity. His room was filled with puzzles and illusions, with which he delighted in teasing me. That other luminary of the sceptical movement, James Randi, sent me the following tribute this morning, which is also posted on the JREF website
(http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/995-my-world-is-a-little-darker.html).

Rest in peace, good old man.
