I recall reading a paper written a number of years ago on citations, which 
had a table in which Samuelson's "The Pure Theory of Public Expenditure" 
was identified as the "most cited" paper in economics. I thought the table 
was in Art Diamond's 1989 "Most-Cited Papers ..." paper, but after 
corresponding with Diamond it seems I was wrong. And neither of us can find 
the reference. Does anyone recall such a table and article? (The usual 
suspects -- Google, JSTOR, Econ-Lit etc. provided no help using normal 
search criteria, so perhaps it was in an book or occasional paper?)
