I hope we take pause if only for a moment to recognize the passing of a great intellect.

Thanks for spreading the news. i grew up on Mathematical Games and looked forward every year to a visit with Dr. Matrix (and, of course, the beautiful Iva Toshiori). I read "The Flight of Peter Fromm", have the annotated Alice and Ancient Mariner handy, and somewhere around I have my old copy of "Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science." A good life, and what a wide-ranging mind he had!

I used to read his stuff in Scientific American in the 1970s ...
