Samuelson's fictional list of Nobel winners 1901-30 is included in a 
footnote to his 1981 obituary for Ohlin in _The Journal of International 
Economics_.  At least that's what he says in his "The Passing of the Guard 
in Economics" _EEJ_ vol XIV, No. 4, Oct-Dec 1988, p. 319.  The latter 
includes some interesting anectodal tidbits.
