A lot of people didn't like him, but I talked to him a few times
and found him intelligent and accomodating. I'd call him at his
home (MPs and even the PM at the time were in the phone
book) as a columnist for Bits & Bytes magazine, and he'd talk
at great length about finance in general and, my interest, R&D.
Very knowledgeable and precise. The last time I talked to him
was on his last Sunday talk-back program on Radio Pacific.
I always remember him saying towards the end of the show "I'm
a tired little boy and I'm off home to bed" (it was only 5pm). Then
he died. I was no fan of the National (cf Conservative/Republican)
Party but found that afternoon and the time shortly after quite
poignant
