Johnny Carson remembered

Carson was a subscriber to SKEPTICAL INQUIRER (and Free Inquiry), and he made several four-figure contributions in response to our fund appeals. Alas, there are all too few figures in the media with enough guts to criticize hoaxers and defend skeptical inquiry. Steve Allen was a notable exception, but he is gone as well. Luckily, Penn and Teller are still in action, as is, of course, the inimitable Randi.
