Could it possibly be Sergey Mikhalkov? He had the golden opportunity to write his country's national anthem twice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Mikhalkov Jan 24 06, 3:16 AM

This is just a stab, but I note that Johann Rudolf Wyss, who wrote the words to the Swiss national anthem, edited "The Swiss Family Robinson," which was actually written by his father, whose first name was also Johann: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Rudolf_Wyss Jan 24 06, 10:32 AM

Yay Frankie for correctly seeing through my confusion on this issue. In the circumstances, the interesting Mikhalkov reference is at least worth an honorary yay. The site does say Mikhalkov is now more famous as a father of film directors, but he was certainly worth a stab. Jan 24 06, 12:46 PM
