This will be everywhere in the media in a moment . . . so I need not
relate details.
But I would like say that Arthur was a good friend to me and to Gene
Mallove, at a time when we badly needed friends. (We still do, of
course.) He was a good friend to cold fusion. He will be sorely
missed by the field, and by me, personally. I have not spoken with
him for years, but he was often in my thoughts. He sent me many
strange, wonderful and kind comments and documents -- including stuff
unrelated to cold fusion -- that helped immeasurably. He, Tinsley and
I shared a kind of off-beat culture & kinship, mainly British but
also American. We discovered, to our surprise, that we all three
admired now-obscure authors such as Gilbert Highet and Fosco Mariani.
His most extensive comments about cold fusion is in the revised
"Millennium Edition" of "Profiles of the Future." He wrote a short paper, here:

I think I will copy my review -- a homage really -- to "Profiles" here.
