[Ads-l] Adage: The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

The April 2017 issue of "The 'Quote...Unquote' Newsletter" is
available and Nigel Rees has some kind words about "Hemingway Didn't
Say That". He also provides a valuable historical perspective on
quotation research. A topic he knows well because he has been and
remains a central figure in the acquisition and sharing of fascinating
reliable information about the provenance of adages, quips, and
quotations.

The April newsletter ends with a discussion of a jest attributed to
Winston Churchill that was mentioned in comedian Stephen Fry's recent
memoir. Here is a link to my analysis.
