Abstract
I am an avid fan of National Public Radio's long-running program "Car Talk." In particular, I always get a chuckle at the end of the show when the hosts acknowledge their "staff" in a fanciful series of word plays - thanking, for instance, their chauffeur Peekup N. Dropov and their attorneys Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. So I became understandably intrigued when a recent ASA book review list included a short tome by an author adopting the pseudonym A. Nonimous, and whose title introduces characters named Nat Selleck and Eva Lou Shinn. In fact, my interest was sufficiently piqued to cause me to offer to prepare the following review.
