bracelet. The WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FOOD (Facts on File, 1982), page 46, says
"This is a Jewish bread that has been described as an unsweetened doughnut
with rigor mortis..."
William Safire did a column on bagels in the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE
(June 12, 1994, pg.28): Bagel derived from the Yiddish term "beygl", later
spelled as "beigel".
Other citations I found were:

Scott, Jack Denton. "What's A Bagel?" READER'S DIGEST June 1988,
v.132(794):129.
Sheraton, Mimi. "The Bagel Takes to the Raod; Mainstream America Eats it
Up -But Has It Lost its Authenticity?" TIME Feb.8, 1988, Vol.131(6):80.
