    this article is an insult.

Holy shit you are right. I thought from your edit it was just going to maybe not fully recognize his accomplishments, but this is just terrible writing. Was it written by a five-year old from Wikipedia? One of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, and he gets this crap. Utterly unbelievable. Hopefully some more heartfelt and proper tributes will come out over the weekend.
