Can anyone tell me when the New York Times started using 'Ms.' (in
addition to 'Mrs.' and 'Miss') or referring to people/organizations as
'gay' (rather than 'homosexual')? I know that Ms. was quite
late--mid-late 80s, I think. Or, if you have an easy way to figure this
out, without going through years' worth of old newspapers, please
suggest it to me.
Thanks much,
Lynne
