Subj: RIP DR.A
It is with sad heart that I pass along the report of Dr. Asimov's passing. An author of hundreds (yes hundredS) of books, Isaac Asimov was a writer who could lead the dim sighted and fill thelearned in the same work. If the public doesn't know his 3 laws of robotics they miss a creed that has kept many sci-fi writers from going too silly...thecontraint (?) of the laws forced the writers to deliver a better produt to the readers, and forced several design engineers to heed the consumer safety guidelines of OSHA and the like. From rockets to Shakespere, from elemental electro-magnetism to historical review of the Bible, we'll miss you Doctor A.
