Another example of Ann Wroe's wonderful obituaries in the Economist and the way how she details in such a humane way how (often forgotten) pioneers, visionaries shaped the world we live in.
And so many briliant small tales in one page. A mother determined to help her son, a pioneering scientist giving an individual the relief of a classification, what was then surely against the system. The consequence: a man able to live a (relatively) normal life. And the community that accepted someone 'different' as one of their own.
