Metcalf on Cohen in Tablet

[Ben Zimmer]

Allan Metcalf has a nice profile of Jerry Cohen in Tablet Magazine:

http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/books/130955/on-the-origin-of-shyster

Not sure why the headline is "On the Origin of 'Shyster,'" but the
subhed is appropriate: "Master etymologist Gerald Cohen knows how jazz
got its name, why they’re called hot dogs, and much more."
