Inspired by http://books.google.com/ngrams/ which is where Google has been scanning books and indexing the words in them. You can track the history of words and phrases you are interested in and show how often they come up "in print".
This blog shows words and phrases I thought were interesting.

Margaret Thatcher
She came to power in 1979 but book mentions grew quite slowly peaking just
after 1990 when she stepped down. Her decline has been quite slow.
(The small peak around 1975 matches her appointment as Leader of the
Conservative Party)
