How do you like your coffee?-krossovki

[Alina Israeli]

That got me interested. I just looked through Novye slova i  
znachenija 77 through 83 (seven editions), none of them have krossovki.
It seems to me that when all of a sudden in in the wake of the 1984  
edition the word massively entered the language they started in a  
hurry looking for the very first mention in the press.
