Just a tiny bit earlier(7 days) citing of that same article, again using
newspaperarchive this morning.  The search engine seems to be getting better
day by day.

_San Antonio(TX) Express and News_  18 April 1964  pg 11-A

The only additional thing that was supplied in this earlier article was the
information that the article was copyrighted by "World Book Encyclopedia
Science Service, Inc."

Make of that what you will.

Hey, I only find 'em.

Subject: Whole Nine Yards update(1964)?


Newspaper Archive, who has been(rightfully) much maligned the last few weeks
while they're updating their workings, produces today this cite:

Tucson(AZ) Daily Citizen, 25 April 1964, page 25, a story about NASA.

"Give 'em the whole nine yards" means an item-by-item report on any project.

Make of this what you will.  It may not be what it seems.  I just stopped by
to report this.
