OT: UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

   Last one.  I have to leave some of these for tomorrow.
   Dave Kahn (THE CODEBREAKERS) showed up at the NYPL on Saturday.  He's giving a cryptography lecture at the University of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, so I have to cancel work and take David Shulman to Philadelphia.  Maybe I'll have time to go to the University Archives; anyone wants anything in Philadelphia, let me know.

JUICER

   OED's first citation is 1938, from AMERICAN SPEECH, for the fruit/vegetable "juicer."
   There were a lot of wrong hits (British="lime juicers"), so I added the search word "kitchen."
