I doubt this very much.  At the time, the major soft drink was 
Coca-Cola, and it came in 6 ounce bottles.  The size of the
7-Up bottle was 7 ounces.  Pepsi-Cola, when it came out in
12 ounce bottles had the slogan, 

	Twice as much, and for a nickel too.

Virginia Beach merged with Princess Anne County in 1962 or 1963.
I think it's about 400 square miles--I do know that there are
signs saying "World's Largest Resort City," if that means
anything.

Actually, this is not true everywhere.  An interesting exception is
Philadelphia.  Philadelphia is its own county.  If you go west, perpendicular
to the numbered streets (which run north-south), you eventually get to
69th street (where the 69th street terminal is).  You are not aware
(or scarcely aware) of having crossad any political boundary in-
between, but the terminal is in Upper Darby, a borough in a different 
county (Delaware County, I believe).  Philadelphia spills over into
Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks county, and the metro area
has suburbs in all of these counties.  I would think that the metro
area also includes Wilmington Delaware, and Camden New Jersey, and
various suburbs in those states also.  

This unusual political organization causes problems tax-wise, because
Phila city and county are the same physical location, so having the 
county provide municipal services does not help.  I believe that the
way they get around it is that they have a special dispensation for
a wage tax that is levied on everyone who WORKS in Phila.

He was the first Black Senator. The House's first black member was Joseph
Rainey.

Of course, all this was during reconstruction, so it's doubtful that these
men truly had the backing of the majority of their constituents. I show
the first post-Reconstruction black Senator to be Edward Brooke in 1967...
anybody got a name and date for the House?

Actually, it's entirely possible that he *did* have the backing of a majority
of his constituents.  In a number of southern states at the time, blacks
considerably outnumbered the whites.  (Thus the white fear that slaves
would rise up and seize control.)  During Reconstruction, the blacks could
vote.  Later, the minority whites were allowed to seize control again
through a combination of extra-legal and legal means.  It was not until 
the 1950's to 1960's that the blacks were able to vote again in signifigant 
numbers.

Our local newspaper weather columnist has been trying to find the
origin of the expression "The whole 9 yards."  So far, readers have
suggested the following:

 - cement trucks have a load of about 9 yards -- when they dump
   the whole contents, that's "The whole 9 yards."

 - the distance between security gates at some prisons is 9 yards.
   To escape, a prisoner has to cross the whole nine yards without
   getting caught.

 - machine gun belts were nine yards long.  When a machine gunner
   (perhaps on an airplane) came back with an empty belt, he had
   fired the whole 9 yards at the enemy.

Does anyone have any authoritative documentation or references to 
back up any of these explanations?  Or any other explanations?

	_Statistical Abstract of the United States_ has a breakdown
of persons/sq mi. in US cities of over 100,000 persons.

Juneau doesn't show up (too small)

Chesapeake, VA is really a county, but was incorporated as a city
for some obscure reason; 337 persons/sq. mile.

Anchorage, AK, is the sparsest city mentioned, at 101 persons/sq. mile.

More typical densities: 4125 for Akron, OH; 7662 for Hartford, CT;
and 3415 for Seattle, WA.  

These figures were from the 1982-83 edition (probably haven't changed
much).

The one I've heard is that the common loom (not the mechanical ones used
by industry) produce bolts of cloth 9 yards long.  When you purchase an
entire bolt (as pioneer women would do, to make their family's yearly
supply of clothing), you would by "the whole 9 yards".  I think bolts
now have something like 15-20 yards of fabric now, since I once bought
about 12 yards of material for a project and there was still fabric left
on the bolt.

One woman's idea; more speculative than authoritative.

Virginia Beach annexed ALL of Princess Anne county in 1963, I
believe it was.  They have been slugging it out with
Jacksonville, on and off, for World's Largest Resort City or some

The book "More of the Straight Dope," by Cecil Adams, attempts to unearth
the answer to this question.  Lots of bizarre theories concerning the 
source of the expression were mentioned, but none were able to be proved
conclusively.

I have already mentioned Kiruna, once the world's largest by area. I
have severe problems with conceptualize a city with lower population
density than Kiruna. In 1983 Kiruna had 27.754 inhabitants and an
area of 19.446,6 km2, or a population density of 1,43 persons/km2.
In comparison Sweden as a whole has 20 persons/km2.

However, as I also have mentioned Kiruna does no longer qualify of
the simple reason that it is no longer a city; in fact there are
no cities, towns or boroughs in Sweden any more, only communes.

In Sweden, Kiruna is not the more sparsly populated commune, that's
Jokkmokk with 0,39 persons/km2 (7.027 persons over 18.143,7 km2).
However, Jokkmokk has never had any city priviledges, or even a
borough letter.

Of course, intelligent guesses for a question like this is almost
impossible as the answer is to be some obscure place you never
heard of, but if they city definition is broad down under, what
about that place in the middle of nowhere, Alice Springs?
