Ray Bradbury, Who Brought Mars to Earth With a Lyrical Mastery,
Dies at 91
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/books/ray-bradbury-popularizer-of-science-fiction-dies-at-91.html?_r=2
Ray Bradbury, a master of science fiction whose imaginative and
lyrical evocations of the future reflected both the optimism and the
anxieties of his own postwar America, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
He was 91.
His death was confirmed by his agent, Michael Congdon.
By many estimations Mr. Bradbury was the writer most responsible
for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream. His
name would appear near the top of any list of major science fiction
writers of the 20th century, beside those of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C.
Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein and the Polish author Stanislaw Lem.

I goofed. I was not careful enough. I am sorry.
I will try to not do that again.

While I quite agree that his passing was a terrible loss, somehow I
think most of us have come to terms with it since June 2012....
