I met him on many occassions (he wasn't that adept wiht a computer) during my stint at Newsweek... Nice man and good guy.., and definitely was a character, not sure how much character he really had though....
While it's not nice to speak ill of the dead... He was an old man - but I do remember about him leaving Newsweek under a bit of a cloud...

because of this story that was in the works.
I hope he does find his peace...
