1906 origins of brainstorming


Dr. Britton D. Evans of the Morris Plains, N.J. Mental Hospital testified that Thaw was "a person of unsound mind who suffered from delusions and exaggerated personal importance", and who shot White while he had "a brain storm or mental explosion." The phrase caught on; "brainstorm" became part of our language.
