For geeks of a certain age -- and, yes, I proudly include myself in that number -- the passing of baby-boomer icon Don Herbert is bad, sad news. I can't help but suspect that at least two generations of sci-fi writers and moviemakers were at least partly influenced by his kid-friendly televised science lessons. Gosh, Mr. Wizard -- thanks.
