Material in the online Yale Alumni magazine you may have missed

[Garson O'Toole]

Fred R. Shapiro recently spoke kindly of the QuoteInvestigator.com
website in the Yale Alumni magazine (YAM). Great thanks to him and to
other list members for positive comments and referrals in the past,
e.g., Ben Zimmer, Dave Wilton, and Grant Barrett.

Some readers of this note may be unaware of the fantastic columns and
articles by Fred that have appeared in YAM about quotations and
phrases. Below are a few links.
