Today's New York Times (July 16) has a lengthy obituary of David Raup, which humorously notes that:  "He never dug up a dinosaur and was the first president of the Paleontological Society ... never to have formally described a new species in the scientific literature."  The obituary does a fine job of summarizing his numerous contributions to paleontology.
