Acknowledgement: Great thanks to Justin DeSimpliciis whose inquiry led
QI to formulate this question and perform this exploration.
DeSimpliciis helpfully found a citation in a book which pointed to
“The Listener” magazine. Unfortunately, the citation specified an
incorrect date.

Many thanks to researcher Stephen Goranson who precisely located the
1978 citation in “The Listener” and obtained page scans.

Here are links to another recent QI article:
