Barry, it's great to have you back on the list, but I hope you're not
backsliding into OED/RHHDAS-bashing. Are you criticizing a volume of the
OEDS that was published in 1976 and presumably edited a few years before
that for not including a term that originated in the mid-1970s? Note that
_junk bond_ is included in volume 3 of the OED Additions Series.
