(Sounds pretty good to me for fifty cents. I'd even tip a dime...This 1916 WASHINGTON POST cite really did the job. Here's what I'd posted in the archives:
CLAMS CASINO--John Mariani cites Julius Keller's INNS AND OUTS with creating the "clams casino" in 1917. So how come it sounded new to the NEW YORK TIMES in 1943?
