on gov't work: my father worked in Sperry Gyroscope (later absorbed by Remington

Rand) in Lake Success, L.I. during the war. For him "gov't work" was something

you were doing for yourself on company time. The phrase was supposed to evoke

wartime secrecy -- so anyone checking what you were doing wouldn't go further.
