He was an intelligent, clever man. I enjoyed listening to him and reading his writings when I had a chance. He was self-made in many ways, coming from a rather common background. Please check out his obituary here: http:// http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/letter_from_america/3581657.stm I'd highly recommend listening to the World Service tribute audio link on the upper right of the page.
