Damn, you beat me. I had 1968 for William Buckley's "Society as a Complex Adaptive System

My wife is doing her PhD in Human & Organizational Learning and I have been flicking through the papers she has to read for an upcoming complexity class. I came across a surprisingly impressive review paper that has (I'm guessing) one of the earliest (if not the earliest) uses of the phrase "complex adaptive system". Anyone care to guess when the paper was authored?

P.S. For those interested, I'll post the paper in the next day or two.
