Matter of fact, back in 1965 after starting a new job as a senior tech writer for G-E, I built myself a desk nameplate that read 'Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevski -- Mangling Editor and Insulting Engineer' but only my partner in crime appreciated the allusion....
Lehrer had been one of my favorite people since first hearing "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" in the mid-1950s, and "Pollution" still ranks as one of my best-loved compositions....
