Tom Lehrer. Albert Einstein (and a vastly disproportionate number of other top phsyicists in particular & scientists in general). Woody Allen. Allan Sherman. Mel Brooks. Barry Goldwater. (Yeah, he counts, Episcopalian or no -- see grandfather Big Mike Goldwasser; and yeah, he was important. Look around.) Similarly, Milton Friedman. (Look around.) Hannah Arendt. Abba Eban (RIP). Yitzhak Rabin. My wife, once her conversion is completed. (Yeah, sure that counts. She couldn't Convert if They weren't There, now could she?) As somebody said above, no Trollbait: collectively, the most brilliant & accomplished people on the face of the earth.
