HANDIES

   There are a few ASL people on this list.  Is this used/recorded?
   From the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 7 June 1964, pg. 8, col. 1:

_Johnson Speech in "Handies"_
   President Johnson last night employed sign language to impart his continuing plea that young people have an equal opportunity for higher education.
   The President, his words translated into deaf-mute "handies" by a sign-language expert, told 500 students and guests at Washington's Gallaudet College for the deaf that universal education had brought America to "its highest level of success."

LEPSHKI

   Not in OED.
   From ON THE ROAD TO KIVA (Henry S. King & Co., London, 1874) by David Ker, pg. 254:

   ...a batch of the famous "Lepeshki," one of the standard dainties of Turkestan, thin cakes of unleavened flour, about the size of a dinner plate, light and limp as a pancake when first baked, but soon becoming crisp as biscuits.

   From THROUGH KIVA TO GOLDEN SAMARKAND (Seeley, Service & Co., London, 1925) by Ella R. Christie, pg. 46:

   Good white bread was nearly always obtainable, and when fresh the native flat scones, called _lepeshki_, were not to be despised.

HOT ISSUE

   I can't find this classic financial term recorded.  The "Hot Issue" market was a big story in 1964.  ("IPO" was not used.)
   From the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 4 June 1964, pg. 31, col. 6:

_"Hot Issue" Gets_
_Warm Greeting_
By Ben Weberman
   Scientific Data Systems, Inc., with a fairy-tale record of phenomenal growth, became the second "hot issue" to reach the market this week.
