On this edition of Conversations, I talk with Henry Beard about How to Succeed in Business (and politics and everything else) without really lying with Spin-glish: The Definitive Dictionary of Deliberately Deceptive Language. He co-authored the book with Christopher Cerf, who is an author, composer-lyricist, and record and television producer. Cerf wrote hundreds of songs for Sesame Street and co-created the PBS show Between the Lions. Henry Beard attended Harvard and was a member of the Harvard Lampoon. He went on to found the National Lampoon, and served as the magazine’s editor during its heyday in the 1970s. He has written numerous bestselling humor books.
