Tales of the Golem; or, the Modern Epimetheus

I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead by mutual friends

The paper version of the Caltech alumni newsletter says that it's no longer going to bother printing an obituary section.

Supposedly, the obituaries will be available online, although right now the ones online seem to be a year out of date.

This seems backwards to me since the people with the most reason to read the obituary section seem the least likely to be reading it online. But perhaps that's an old-fashioned attitude.
