A legend in his own mind

"I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world," Rudi Giuliani told a group of reporters Sept. 19th in London.

Just a bit of hubris, wouldn't you say?

Who would be your top 5?

Since reading this quote, I have seen a bunch of other people's lists and have agreed with most of the serious ones, though not the ones that have Ron Paul on them!

Hmm...

I have been invited to contribute to an encyclopedia in my field of endeavor, by recommendation of a colleague.

The invitation came to Dr. Shaine. I suspect that if they knew I have no doctorate, they might not have extended the invitation (though I will note that at least one other person on their author list has only an honorary doctorate - it is still more than I have).

I suppose I ought to tell them.
