What a funny story.  I had a student several years ago who was sent to the
library to do independent research (this was a third grader). He started by
looking in the encyclopedias--I asked if he needed help he said no.  He
continued to look through various reference books and I asked again--this
time he said he was looking for a sports star Harry Fonte. I quickly
suggested several sources and went to the sports books and could not find
him.  I suggested he go back and write the name down, perhaps he had spelled
it wrong.  He came happily skipping back into the library and said "He's got
a middle name Bella---and he was a singer" On his paper was the name Harry
Belafonte.
