TALENTED TOM

The Friday File: Singer-song writer, and satirist extraordinaire Tom Lehrer has died at 97. He graduated Harvard with a BA in math at 18, taught at Harvard/MIT, worked at Los Alamos, and the NSA, but his greatest talent was writing and performing biting political, and social satire a la Gilbert and Sullivan, that is enjoyed by adults and children alike. He made you laugh and think, and he wore bowties.
