1960, transcript of radio show _Washington Viewpoint_ (Dec. 20), in David
Michael Jacobs _History of the UFO Controversy in America_ (Bloomington:
Indiana U. P., 1975) 176: [A] small group of euphologists who have a
typewriter and read a newspaper account of the thing, and -- you see, you
really can't compare.

Jacobs interposes [_sic_] after "euphologists."
