What's wrong with Common Lisp's lambda ?

Hi,
I have just read this article:

http://www.ddj.com/184404384;jsessionid=KLMB3AY1Q0DHQQSNDLPCKH0CJUNN2JVN?_requestid=71496

and in the section "Impact of Logic", I saw this :

Scheme, a dialect of Lisp which got lambda right (Guy Steele and Gerald
Sussman, 1975; http://www.schemers .org/).

I am a happy CL lambda user, and can't find something wrong in CL's
lambda...

Could some functional guru explain me what they meant?

Thanks,
Karol
