Reinhold Niebuhr, the American theologian, died on June 1, 1971. He is the author of the "serenity prayer," a claim which someone must have questioned, for he said this about it: "Of course, it may have been spooking around for years, even centuries, but I don't think so. I honestly do believe that I wrote it myself." Niebuhr's wife asked T. S. Eliot to name their poodle pup. This was in 1955. Eliot declined, since, he said, he was a "cat person."
Kevin Mitnick was born on August 6, 1963. He was at one time the most wanted criminal computer hacker in the world. Nowadays he is a rich (and deservedly so) computer security consultant. His latest book (2008) is titled: "No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing." Mitnick co-authored this book, and I am not sure if he or his co-author has a cat, but one of them definitely does. This book mentions shredding old mail to use for cat litter.
