New York Magazine, May 19, 1969, v. 2 no. 20, "The Grouper Gambit," Harry
Waters, page 41 [Google Book full view, listed with two dates]:

Barry paused a moment to explain the group's criteria: "What we _don't_
want are
JAPS ? you know, Jewish American Princesses. Spoiled...uptight...never raises

the porch with a reflector when it's 95 degrees."
