Regret the Error

In a Dec. 14 list of the Top 10 quotes of 2008 as compiled by the Yale Book of Quotations, The Associated Press, relying on information from the book’s editor, incorrectly attributed the origin of two quotes.
Professor Jeffrey Frankel of Harvard, in a 2007 article in Cato Journal, was the first to write, “They say ‘there are no atheists in foxholes.’ Perhaps, then, there are also no libertarians in crises.” Economist Paul Krugman repeated a version of the statement later on a TV show.
Also, “Cash for trash” in reference to the financial bailout did not originate with Krugman. He used the phrase in his New York Times column, but doesn’t recall where he first heard it. Link
