Help[Facts] An urban legend????
in reply to a message by Nanaea
The story that Greek was almost voted as an official language in the US is so widespread here that I took it for granted. Tried to find some support though a web search, but -- bummer! -- I didnt find any :(

Found a book...
I'd honestly never heard of this before, but I was intrigued enough to use my librarian's skills to track down a book which covers this:
*O Strange New World; American Culture: The Formative Years*, by Howard Mumford Jones (published 1964)
The book is apparently out of print now, but I'll see if I can snare it via interlibrary loan. Sounds like interesting reading!
