The (almost) Knight and Grand Master (a title bestowed upon him by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) is dead at the grand old age of 90.
According to my pal Scott F., the reason he doesn't go by SIR Arthur C. Clarke is because "although the queen wanted to Knight him, she was advised not to because he moved to Sri Lanka where it was legal for him to 'pump' little boys and if she did knight him, she would be condoning his actions."
