I've never seen his first name before. Seems like it's his parents he
ought to resent. (Cf. a character on *Happy Days*.)

Herbert Penzl and Herbert Paper always promised to write an article
together, but they never did. (The former was an Anglist, the latter is
an Iranist.)

I thought Morris Philipson of the U of Chicago Press and Philip Morison
of MIT and SciAm should do so, too, but they didn't, either.

He may bear legal responsibility, since they used his name to sell
books, but he's not responsible for the ideas. They're all in Halle's
1959 *Sound Pattern of Russian*.
