Bos. Globe, Atl. Constitution Request

[Fred Shapiro]

Two requests for anyone who has access to the Boston Globe and Atlanta
Constitution on ProQuest Historical Newspapers:

What is the earliest occurrence of "real McCoy" in those papers? "real
Mackay"? "real Sandy Mackay"?

What is the earliest occurrence of "the public be damned" in those papers?
