Touching, wonderful. What the NYT can do when they leave their political baggage in the lobby.

Saw a number of TV shows on Mr. Peek. To hear him speak and answer questions posed by an audience was akin to hearing a computer talk.

A fascinating guy. I never knew the details of this character. Much better than the movie version.

Yes, indeed, and they even linked to the documentary about him called “The Real Rain Man” on YouTube. It’s well done (I’ve watched the first segment so far). Thanks for the post.

I just learned of Kim’s death while searching for information on savants via google; his death is very sad.

My heart goes out to his father, friends and family. 58 is too young.

God Bless Kim his family and friends.
