A classic illustration of the little known fact that sometimes you CAN
judge
a book by it's cover.

If memory serves, it's actually a collection of articles from the
JIR......sort of a "best of" thingy.

You're right, Wofgang.

Uh oh. No good can come of this.

Although I've learned that my memory is not to
be trusted, I believe the title essay first appeared in a humor mag
published by students in that outstanding engineering school, the
Carnegie Institute of Technology, when I was a student there, circa
1946. It is now known as Carnegie Mellon Univerisy.

Hell, I heard you were professor emeritus there in '46.

Any connection between CIT and JIR that you know of?
