Buchwald, a humorist for the Washington Post, might have been 
joking. If Buchwald were a bibliometrician, he might have 
been describing an extraordinary power law. Or, if Buchwald 
was not exaggerating, Galbraith had help.

I just thought it was cute. And somewhat apropos. Kind of 
like AWARE's legend-like attendance at local governmental 
meetings and submissions to the News-Gazette. AWARE is 
ubiquitous and numerous beyond comprehension.

P.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%27s_law is too short 
a description of Lotka's Law, otherwise I would point to it.
