Norton Juster: Hello, my name is Norton Juster. I've always had trouble with it. When people are not calling me Norman, or Norbert or Spike, they reverse the name and get Juster Norton, which is fun not. Also I don't have a middle name; I don't know why, but that's the way it is. When I went into the Navy many years ago, I had to fill out a great many forms and you're not allowed to leave any questions blank. When it came to my name, they asked for first name, middle name, last name. So I had to fill it in as Norton None Juster. Humiliating. But after a while, I began to like it; Norton None Juster. Not bad.
