Dear list members,

I'm happy to let you know that in a personal email to me Prof. Anders 
confirmed
having been
the one who invented this metaphor for a speech at an  AAAS meeting in 
NYC in
early 1960.

Furthermore he wrote this referring to the German meteorite forum.

     "I am delighted by the great interest in meteorites manifested by 
your
       forum! That was unimaginable in 1960!"

Well, Prof. Anders, we are delighted as well that you shared this 
information
with us.
And we sincerely thank you very much for all you have done to make 
meteoritics
progress.

If you wish, please share your extensive knowledge anytime you wish 
here on the
meteorite-list or in the German meteorite forum.

All our best wishes to you

Martin
