Ted doesn't seem to know what's going on. From the New Yorker (July 16, 2001):

Amid such typically elliptical remarks, her description of how she [Laurie Anderson] came to write the song "Statue of Liberty" leaps out: "When I started working on the record I had just finished writing the entry about New York for the Encyclopaedia Britannica."

...

"Well, on most topics we would have scholars do the writing," Tom Panelas, a Britannica spokesman, said last week. "Laurie Anderson might be able to write about performance art. I can investigate the matter further, but I am fairly certain that we wouldn't commission an article about New York from her."

Panelas called back the next day. "Lo and behold," he said. "Laurie Anderson is writing an entry about New York for the Encyclopaedia." Inspired by "The American Scene," a series of travel essays by Henry James, Theodore Pappas, the Britannica executive editor, decided to supplement the Encyclopaedia's existing entries with a number of impressionistic writings about American cities and towns. Annie Proulx was asked to write about Rock Springs, Wyoming. Camille Paglia took on Syracuse. David Mamet got Chicago.

Senile or what? He couldn't even keep track of his new popcruft campaign. lots of issues | leave me a message 00:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Doesn't it seem from that quote that Tom, not Ted, is the one who was confused?

Damnit. :-( I confused the two... lots of issues | leave me a message 07:56, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
