I know at a very basic level that they knew each other through Paris
intellectual circles, and that Chomsky thought Lacan was a charlatan who
was deliberately bullshitting the French academic scene ... I believe he
called him infantile and ridiculous (Derrida may have been included in
this flame) ... I can't remember a good source off the top of my head but
will look.  Certainly there is more information than this that others more
well read than myself might be able to provide.

peace,
