Arthur C. Clarke passed away. I loved "Childhood's End" when I read it in high school.

November l0. Accompanied Stan and the design staff into the Earth-orbit ship and happened to remark that the cockpit looked like a Chinese restaurant. Stan said that killed it instantly for him and called for revisions. Must keep away from the Art Department for a few days.
