Gee, sorry Allan. The article says "_The New York Times_ plans to

call the years 2000 through 2009 the Ohs. `It is literal, logical

and, even more than positive, it portends what Paul Simon's lyric

calls `the age of miracle and wonder,'' says an editorial in the

newspaper." It doesn't give a date for said editorial.

To paraphrase from _Copy Editor_ magazine, June/July 1994 (I'm sure

you're already familiar with this, Jesse), The NY Times has decided

to call the years 2000 to 2009 the "Ohs," which, personally, I think

is pretty horrendous.
