H. Bentley Glass, Provocative Science Theorist, Dies at 98
NY Times
H. Bentley Glass, a biologist who in the 1950’s and 60’s led a ubiquitous career as writer, scientific policy maker and theorizer, with provocative and often prescient predictions about still-burning issues like genetics and nuclear war, died on Sunday in Boulder, Colo.
His daughter, Lois Edgar, said his death one day before he would have been 99 was in line with his prediction in 1967 that people in 2000 would live to nearly 100.
Dr. Glass refused to stay within the bounds of academia and found time while writing and editing several books and more than 400 scientific articles to write a science column in The Baltimore Evening Sun. He spoke out widely on issues like the ethics of test-tube babies, the dangers of radioactivity and the genetic nature of race.
