Jim asked:

"Do you happen to have a reference for this?  My (very vague)
recollection is that some people have said this story is true and
others have said it apocryphal, and I don't think I've seen anything
authoritative either way."

Nope, I don't know if it is true or apocryphal. It is widely enough known
to use as a good example anyway, even if it is not true :-)

But it would be nice to find out, anyone on this list have a REALLY
AUTHORITATIVE first-hand source for the truth on this one (it is one
that many people "know" the answer to, but as Jim pointed out, they
disagree and can't all be right!)
