It is probable that Lucy is expecting prose, but I know from experience that (unlike the New Statesman) she won't automatically discard verse.

Brian,
Yes, I will have to drop the windy explanation. Gilbreth is well known to people who've taken management or production engineering courses in college, though I doubt he is known to the liberal arts crowd.

Being the subject of a nonfiction book and two movies should make him "famous". Plus, his surname is unusual enough that it pops up on top of a Google search.
