Leonard S. Marcus: Hello. My name is Leonard Marcus. When I sign my name, or have it appear in books, I use my middle initial "S," which stands for Seth. When I was in kindergarten, I got into trouble because of my name. On the very first day I ever went to school, my teacher asked each of us to state our name so that she could write it on a little 3x5 index card for her attendance records. And I said my name is Leonard Seth Marcus, and when I looked down at her card, I saw that she wasn't writing in my middle name, so I said my name over again. "My name is Leonard Seth Marcus." I wanted her to get the whole thing. And she said that she didn't have room on her card. And the family legend is that I looked at her and said back, "I don't like your system."
