o.k.,  nobody is even in the vicinity, although there have been some clever responses.  I will post the second clue at noon Chicago time today, and if somebody doesn’t get it after that, it’s hopeless.  Obviously, I’m not making this easy  — what fun would it be otherwise?

By the way, Matthew is completely wrong that I published a paper with this bear.  Don’t go looking for his name among my co-authors.

Incidentally, I have learned that Steve Pinker also has a bear, whose name is WILFRED.
