NP: Tom Lehrer

[Thomas Eckhardt]

I have recently bought a Best-of-Tom-Lehrer (probably due to various 
mentions of his song about Wernher von Braun on the list -- thanks!) and 
like it very much, especially the dark satire (I call it realism) in 
songs like "Wernher von Braun" or "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", which 
was quite probably ripped off by the late, great Georg Kreisler for 
"Tauben vergiften".

His funny songs about letters and numbers may also come in handy once my 
kids start to learn English...

Am looking forward to reading the article.

Thomas
