The presidential primary season is in full swing; the various candidates have been analyzed to death. Yet, one aspect of this competition has been ignored - the subliminal message lurking in their names. Names don't lie! Here's an onomastic tour of the leaders as 2008 begins.

Exercise Your Brain With Bananagrams, Matthew M. Maurer
Exercise Your Brain With Bananagrams, Matthew M. Maurer
Word Ways
During the last holiday season I stopped by the local game store looking for a few good board games for my teen age sons. The first clerk to help me was a seasonal worker and I was soon convinced that she was not even much of a game player. When I finally got the regular clerk, an obvious game geek, he recommended Bananagrams.

World Champ's Analysis, Jeff Grant
World Champ's Analysis, Jeff Grant
Word Ways
Nigel Richards of New Zealand won the 9th World Scrabble Championship in Mumbai, India, becoming the ninth different World Champion since the event began in 1991. The fact that no-one has won twice seems to suggest an element of chance is involved. As Nigel modestly put it when interviewed in Mumbai, 'This is a game independent of other games. You win some, you lose some - it depends on the luck of the draw.'

Word Ways
Recently two new word books showed up the same day in the new books at the library, both small-format hardbacks: Word Refugees: In Pursuit of Wanted Words by Barbara Wallraff (HarperCollins 2006), $14.95; and The Meaning of Tingo and Other Extraordinary Words from Around the World by Adam Jacot de Boinod (Penguin 2006), $19.95. I recommend the former.

Colloquy
Word Ways
Rollin Stearns' fine article on clerihews in this issue reintroduces the term to new readers. Rollin tried his hand at limericks too, submitting this effort:
A puzzler ferociously feral,
Whose muzzle puts wizards in peril
Roared jeremiads
At druids and dryads
While guzzling his beer by the barrel.

Word Ways
It was many years ago that I first became acquainted with a form of light verse called a clerihew. At the time I was reading some poetry by W. H. Auden. Most of Auden's poetry was serious, but some of it was light, and I especially liked the following:
James Watt
Was the hard-boiled kind of Scot
He thought any dream
Sheer waste of steam.

The Resilience Of The Lambs, A. Ross Eckler
The Resilience Of The Lambs, A. Ross Eckler
Word Ways
A century and three quarters after "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was published, residents of Sterling, Massachusetts and Newport, New Hampshire are still arguing over the ownership of this famous little ditty about the faithful lamb and unwelcoming schoolteacher. According to Sterling, the Mary of the poem was a girl named Mary Sawyer, born there in 1806. One day in 1815 her devoted lamb followed her to school and up the classroom aisle when she was asked to recite a lesson. The teacher, alas, turned the lamb out.

The Evolution Of Intellectual Infrastructure, Peter Lee
The Evolution Of Intellectual Infrastructure, Peter Lee
Washington Law Review
This Article explores the concept of intellectual infrastructure in intellectual property law. It makes three principal contributions. First, it builds upon prior work to elaborate an infrastructure-based theory of productivity that encompasses trademark, copyright, and patent law. It is well-recognized that intellectual property law promotes productivity through allowing exclusive rights on refined intellectual creations such as source-identifying marks, particularized expressions, and specific inventions. Somewhat less appreciated, these bodies of law also promote productivity through ensuring wide access to productivity-enabling “intellectual infrastructure,” such as generic words, ideas, and natural principles, by making these assets ineligible for exclusive rights. This Article argues …
