New cite for "Whole Nine Yards" (1967)

[Sam Clements]

I promise that I didn't make this up.

Both Fred Shapiro and I are having trouble reproducing my find on
NewspaperArchive.  Perhaps they just added this in the last few hours and
the search engine will be wonky for a bit.

Or, it could be part of the Philadelphia Experiment.  Or....

NewspaperArchive has added some Pacific Stars & Stripes.

13 Nov 1967 _Pacific Stars and Stripes_  pg 11?

"Spec. 4 Robert G. Helton, 64th Quartermaster Bin.--"Ann Margaret---all the
way.  She's got everything going for her.  She dances, sings, acts---the
whole nine yards."

Is this now the second oldest cite?  What month was "Doom Pussy" released?
