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.
