- For some bitter comments about that essay, listen to some of
- Daniel Pinkwater's old commentaries on National Public Radio. (cf the
- tape "Of Dogs and Men" from Dove Audio.) I remember him using
- words like "teutonic fairy-tale" and "too much kirsch-water" to
- describe and explain Lorenz' theory.
