Steve Allen (1921-2000) was mainly known as an entertainer, but he was very active in CSICOP, Critical Thinking and the Skeptical Movement. He was a co-chair of CSICOP's Council for Media Integrity and at the time of his death had been waging a campaign against the filth and violence that dominates television and films.
