In fact, Mr. Vonnegut never even heard of Ms. Schmich until last Friday.The day before, his lawyer got a request from a magazine to reprint the column. He told his lawyer he did not write the prose. More requests started pouring in. Finally on Friday, he got a call from Ms. Schmich, who was beginning to be buried in calls and E-mail about the column and wanted to tell him that a lot of people were confusing her work with his. (The on-line version of Wired magazine used part of it as its quote of the day.)''What I said to Mary Schmich on the telephone was that what she wrote was funny and wise and charming, so I would have been proud had the words been mine,'' he said. ''But she's not hurt and I'm not hurt.'' - http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/06/nyregion/it-s-all-the-talk-of-the-internet-s-gossip-underground.html
