http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/24/us/24gardner.html?ref=books He was quite an interesting fellow with wide-ranging interest that manifested themselves in various, including his columns in Scientific American magazine. He also was a vigorous skeptic and railed against pseudoscience. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
