October 4, 2006: Robert Anton Wilson

The word in the blogosphere is that Wilson - who, with Robert Shea, wrote the "Illuminatus" trilogy that inspired me to create the Illuminati game - is dying. Childhood polio has caught up with him. He's been living in a hospice, selling his possessions on eBay, and is out of money. His friends and admirers are asking for help.

Rev. Ivan Stang's appeal has the details.
