Ed McBain, aka Evan Hunter, died at his home on Wednesday.
Neither name was his original one. He was born Salvatore Lombino on Oct.
15,
1926, in New York City, the only child of a postal employee, Charles
Lombino, and his wife, the former Marie Coppola. He started writing while
serving in
the Navy during World War II. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Hunter
College and held a teaching job that he would later draw on for
"The Blackboard
Jungle. Apparently, he dropped his birth name in 1952 because of the
prejudice against Italian-Americans, who were expected to be illiterate.
