    Tom Brokaw, anchor and managing editor of the top-rated "NBC=
 Nightly
News," and Rex Curry, lawyer and libertarian commentator, are the=
 first
journalists honored for exposing the "National Socialist German=
 Workers'
Party" to the public in Google News' search engine.  Google News=
 shows only
Brokaw's and Curry's use of the full phrase in Google News=
 archives.  Google
News selects from 4,500 news sources updated continuously.
    A google news search http://news.google.com/ (for any use on=
 any date)
of the full phrase revealed only six uses, five belonging to=
 Curry and one
belonging to Brokaw.  One use was an excerpt from a book (by=
 Brokaw) posted
as a review, and was not actually a "news" item. All of the other=
 uses were
by Curry writing about the topic of public and media ignorance of=
 the full
phrase.
    Other news journalists can join Brokaw and Curry as the=
 first
journalists to educate the public about the full phrase in the=
 news media.
News journalists can take third place, or make the top ten.
    Tom Brokaw is Anchor and Managing Editor of the top-rated=
 "NBC Nightly
News," Contributing Anchor on "Dateline NBC," Program Anchor for=
 MSNBC, and
Author of "The Greatest Generation," "The Greatest Generation=
 Speaks" and
"An Album of Memories."  Brokaw is equally at ease covering news=
 events from
the world's capitals or in small towns across America, whether=
 from his
anchor desk at NBC News' world headquarters in New York, or from=
 locations
across the country or around the world.
    Rex Curry is published worldwide as a libertarian and a=
 lawyer, too,
with a degree in journalism. http://RexCurry.net is the only site=
 on the
internet that collects and displays historic photographs of the=
 original
Pledge of Allegiance (with the straight-arm salute). Curry broke=
 the
history-making story that the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance was the=
 origin of
the salute of the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party=
 (Nazis).
http://members.ij.net/rex/pledgesalute.html  Curry is a=
 sixth-generation
Floridian, and a life-long resident.  His predecessors helped=
 settle Key
West back when Florida's government was virtually non-existent.=
 The Curry
Mansion (historic home of Florida's first millionaire capitalist)=
 is still
on the local tour.
    In comparison to the above, Google News indicates that the=
 hackneyed
shorthand "Nazi" has 9320 results from various news writers.  =
