While some over-anxious press agents swear up and down that the Friz (as it is known on a first-name basis at Princeton) will soon sweep the nation and become as universally accepted as the Yo-yo, it is generally believed in the trade that sane people can’t stand most toy fads for more than five months.

Gay Talese in The New York Times on Aug. 11, 1957 about this new Frisbee thing that "kept students so busy that they had no time for rioting", as cited in today's Sunday edition »

Walter F. Morrison, inventor of the Frisbee, died last week at 90.
