Having never seen the original entry, nor having had the pleasure of attending
one of Adm. Hopper's presentations, I feel deprived.  BUT I would like to point
out that Science News, in 1989, had an article on Grace Hopper and showed, as
the front cover, a photo of the page with the moth attached.  In the article,
they discussed this event--and it was presented as factual.  Perhaps your
advisor just didn't see the right log book in a series?  I can't believe that,
if the thing was apocryphal, Science News wouldn't have had to publish a
retraction of a forged entry...
