Nominative determinism could hang like an albatross around your neck. I'm sure the the Kinsey Institute's current director, however, is pretty relaxed about such things.

This meant that the author list became, in alphabetical order, Alpha, Beta and Gamma - which are the first three letters of the Greek alphabet! Heh.
