Tuna Fish Sandwich (1915); Columbia Univ. drops WP & CSM

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY "PROQUEST HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS" DATABASES--I returned, hoping for MORE databases, but now have FEWER.  The CHICAGO TRIBUNE and LOS ANGELES TIMES aren't here yet.  The WASHINGTON POST and CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR are no longer here, either.  I was told that Columbia had a trial subscription only.  I pointed out to the librarian that Columbia University has a journalism school, allegedly one of the best in the country, and that the WASHINGTON POST is _necessary_.
   A quick check of AMERICAN PERIODICAL SERIES ONLINE shows that it still hasn't added any more publications to the database,
   Bad developments.

TUNA FISH SANDWICH

   Andrew Smith is researching "tuna fish."
   I just received a copy of Becky Mercuri's excellent SANDWICHES THAT YOU WILL LIKE, a companion to the WQED Pittsburgh tv show.  From pg. 15 on Tuna Fish:

   As sandwiches became heartier concoctions,so did the tuna fish sandwich. Popular with children and teenagers, instructions for a tuna fish sandwich were given as "Flaked Fish Sandwiches" in the various editions of _Young America's Cook Book: A Cook Book for Boys and GIrls Who Like Good Food_, first published in 1938.
