I met Dr. Atkins recently, and I can't say that he was the most friendly or charismatic person. But he did do wonders for the diet world, and I appreciate his perserverence. It is really too bad that he couldn't have stuck around to a wee old age and continued to prove what LC could do! I wonder if someone else will step up to fill his position as the voice of LC--though no one could really replace him, of course.
