Ray Bradbury, one of the great writers of the past half century+ has passed away at 91. Best known as a writer of science fiction novels and short stories, he also wrote for TV and movies, including the classic 1956 film of "Moby Dick" directed by John Huston. His best known novel was probably the dystopian Fahrenheit 451 but many of his works were adapted for films and TV and there was even a Bradbury anthology series on TV for a while.
