[On "John Keynes" in the cartoon at

HB]  
  
  
      Except of course, Keynes always went by "Maynard," not "John."  
There was a similar situation with Galbraith, who always went by "Ken."  
Once a president of Havard, Nathan Marsh Pusey, called him, "John."  
Afterwards he always called Pusey, "Marsh."  
     BTW, I am also someone who has the first name "John," but goes  
by my middle name, "Barkley."  Increasingly with computerized listings  
I find myself called "John."  When I once complained when entering a   
hospital, the woman in all seriousness told me, "well, you should just  
get your name changed legally to switch them around."
