Film
director Anthony Minghella's death (18
March 2008) reminds us
of Jaap Mees' extensive interview
with him several years ago. On the same
day the science
fiction writer Arthur C.
Clarke also died. He will be best
remembered for anticipating the use of
communications satellites, and
for his collaboration with Stanley
Kubrick in the creation of
2001: A Space Odyssey. See
Nigel Watson's article Two Views of 2001 and
his article about
Clarke's Minehead home town.
