Graham Jr.; like the lion hunting article, it's in A Random Walk in Science (1973, compiled by R.L. Weber, edited by E. Mendoza). The original publication of Graham's piece was in "Metal Progress", 71, 75 (1957). The posted article has evidently gone through several hands since many of the definitions have been rephrased or removed, and a few have been added. I'll throw in my favorites from the original: o "Accidentally strained during mounting" (dropped on the floor.) o "Handled with extreme care throughout the experiments" (not dropped on the floor.)
