That was when they were Tom & Gerry. PS has always insisted that Artie never wrote a word so it either means that Art wrote only the tune or that Paul has forgotten about the odd one.

Well of course Silent Night - 7 O'Clock News (on the S&G album Wednesday Morning, 3 AM) is actually the traditional carol with someone reading out the news as a sort of counterpoint. Richard Nixon is still refered to as "former Vice President, which dates it a bit. I guess it really should be Trad arr Simon & Garfunkel, although in the Complete Columbia Recordings box it (erroneously) claims it as just Paul Simon!

Benedictus, Peggy-O and Go Tell it On the Mountain have Trad arr Simon & Garfunkel credits though.
