OP This curious little word-thingy from an AP obit-tribute to Uris today:
>[Uris's] "Mila 18" (1960) unintentional influence on both American publishing and American slang: Its title led a rival publisher to change the name of an upcoming novel, by a then-unknown Joseph Heller, from "Catch-18" to "Catch-22".<
I did not know that.
BTW, Uris was also noted for his epic Irish study, "Trinity."
