I was very much pleased by my copy of the Freedom Party Calendar for 1989. However, I believe that the late Leonard Read, former head of the Foundation for Economic Education, originated the idea of the inability of one person to make a lead pencil. Not having the essay before me, I am unable to say whether that in your publication there is a direct quote from Read or whether, possibly, it might be a paraphrasing of the idea by Dr. Friedman.
