SNICKERDOODLE

    A cookie store has begun offering snickerdoodles (cinnamon cookies).  I
couldn't find this in Flexner's LISTENING TO AMERICA or I HEAR AMERICA
TALKING, or the DICTIONARY OF AMERICANISMS.  I also couldn't find a good
"snickerdoodle origin" web page, although there are a few recipes.  The
Tamony files contain a "snickerdoodle" entry.
   If "s'mores" can enter a dictionary, surely we can raise a "snickerdoodle"
case.  Does anyone know who made the first batch and who named them?

DUFFY (continued)

   From TIME magazine, 12 November 1965, pg. 75, col. 2:

   In the main, bonecrushing defense has been the key to Michigan State's
success.  "Football is not a contact sport," Daugherty tells his players.
"It is a collision sport.  Dancing is a contact sport."

   A photo caption reads: Football is not a contact sport.  Dancing is a
contact sport.
   The QUOTATIONARY credits the phrase to Vince Lombardi, citing James
Michener's SPORTS IN AMERICA (1976).  That should now be changed to Duffy
Daugherty.
