MOM-AND-POP STORE

   The revised OED has 1951?


Fair Enough
WESTBROOK PEGLER. Los Angeles Times (1886-Current File). Los Angeles, Calif.: Jul 9, 1943. p. A (1 page):
   NEW YORK, July 8.--You take my friend Joe, a member of the numerous Spelvin tribe of Americans and a first cousin of George Spelvin, the All-American American.  Joe is a one-horse grocer.  His little pitch is what the big chains and certain government agencies call a Mom and Pop store.

HEIRHEADS

   Paris Hilton is not an "heirhead."  She just doesn't know what a "well" is!  She's just not "well" educated!  But not an heirhead!

`NEWSPAPER NEEDLES QUAYLE

"Quayle Becomes President `Uh-Oh,' Says Worried Nation."

That headline appears on a free, single-page broadsheet, the Washington Possible, that lampoons Republican vice presidential candidate Dan Quayle. It is being circulated in a half-dozen cities.

Josh Baran, a Los Angeles public relations man, "conceived and produced" the paper.

Its $25,000 cost was paid by 32-year-old Jeremy Sherman of San Francisco, an heir to the Midas Muffler fortune, who said of Quayle, "He may be representative of some of our generation in his empty-headedness, but we can expect more from ourselves."

The 20,000-circulation Washington Possible, dated Oct. 21, 19??, imagines the "sudden death" of President George Bush ("See Bush Dies Suddenly, Sec. B, Page 12"). A small picture below the fold depicts the "Inaugural Hole:" "9th hole (Par 4, 350 yds.) at Chevy Chase CC. After Quayle took oath of office at tee, he shot a double bogey six."

Quayle's career is summarized: "From Heirhead to President."

HEADLINE: Recalling Gray
BODY:
YOU MAY HAVE THOUGHT the 2002 elections were over, but a fat lot you know. Just three months after he squeaked to victory over a certifiable stiff, California Gov. Gray Davis may be facing a formidable recall campaign. Recalls, as our more historically minded readers surely recall, were instituted to remove elected officials who'd done something dreadful but who wouldn't be facing the voters for some time to come. In this instance, however, no one is alleging that Davis has done anything of questionable legality, much less since November. It's just that the Republicans want another shot at him, and still believe that if they'd had a sentient nominee last fall, they would have won. (Their nominee last year, businessman Bill Simon Jr., calls to mind few comparable figures in contemporary politics, but if you've ever seen Rudy Vallee playing his usual smiling, clueless, heirhead millionaire in a '30s or '40s comedy, you'll get the picture.)

Dancing on tables at wild parties. Catfighting in a club over some guy. Taping yourself having sex _ and then taking a cellphone call in the middle of the shenanigans!

No wonder they're calling Paris Hilton an "heirhead."

Not that those highly publicized exploits are hurting 22-year-old Paris, who along with her younger sister, Nicky, 21, is heir to the $3.8 billion Hilton hotel fortune and Hollywood's latest It Girl.

SUBWAY SERIES

   The earliest from the newly digitized SPORTING NEWS.  Again, I didn't see "subway series" used during the 1921, 1922, and 1923 Yankees-Giants matchups.
   Ancestry had a "subway series" from 1928.


   22 September 1932, SPORTING NEWS, pg. 3, col. 6:
   It was Hug who piloted the Yanks in their three subway series with the Giants--in 1921, 1922 and 1923.
