A mailing list discussion thread from April 2023 led to the creation
of a Quote Investigator article.

Great thanks James Landau, John Baker, and Joel Berson whose mailing
list discussion of this topic led QI to formulate this question and to
perform this exploration. Also, thanks to Arizona’s Law whose tweet
gave added impetus to this inquiry. Special thanks to Fred R. Shapiro,
editor of “The New Yale Book of Quotations” which contains an entry
for this saying that points to the crucial “Newsweek” citation in
1966. Further thanks to researcher Barry Popik for his webpage on this
topic.
