Would somebody please cite the attribution of "Direct manipulation" to Ben Schneiderman? I need a reason to believe.

It is in his 1983 article in the August 1983 issue of IEEE Computer. I disagree with the text of this Wikipedia article on direct manipulation by the way. While it seems, to the best of my knowledge, that Shneiderman coined this particular term and explained it, he did not invent the concept (or concepts since there was no consensus on this), and it was already being discussed a long time before 1983.
