Fred Shapiro, On Language

[Baker, John]

        Our own Fred Shapiro is this week's guest columnist for William
Safire's On Language column in the New York Times Sunday Magazine,
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/21/magazine/27wwwl-guestsafire-t.html.
The column discusses the origins of several well-known political
sayings, all erroneously credited in the past.  Kudos for some
well-deserved exposure for Fred's findings.
