- In a previous article, jmc@SAIL.Stanford.EDU (John McCarthy) says:
-
- >The _American Spectator_ lists as its law firm "Solitary, Poor, Nasty,
- >Brutish and Short".

- Isn't the Spectator's a bit clumsy?
- Especially since in Gravity's Rainbow
- Pynchon punched it up as Salitari, Nash, De Brutus, and Short
- (approximately: I'm too lazy to find the exact reference),
- and he wasn't necessarily the first to coin what sounds
- like a staple of college humor magazines, circa 1954.
