The obituaries in the Economist (at the back) are often poignant and insightful, and sometimes cover individuals who deserve to be better known.

I remember a joint obit in 2008 of Jack Scott (weather forecaster) and Reg Varney (who starred in British sitcom On The Buses). Not an expected pairing.

And the first cash machine used cheques with radioactive Carbon 14 rather than plastic cards!
