[Ads-l] The Gipper wins one!

[George Thompson]

Whoever the Gipper is, in this case.  Barry Popik?  Dave Shulman?  Gerry
Cohen will be pleased.

Anyway, from today's NYTimes, a article anticipating an exhibit at the
Museum of the City of New York.

The object is among 400 being readied by the Museum of the City of New York
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/m/museum_of_the_city_of_new_york/index.html?inline=nyt-org>
for
its first permanent exhibition, a 6,600-square-foot display ambitiously
intended to evoke the very essence of the metropolis that has been known as
the Big Apple (pits and all) since the horse-racing writer John J. Fitz
Gerald popularized that nickname in The New York Morning Telegraph 95 years
ago.
