Story line
"Mr. R.A.J. Phillips -- who happens to be Director of Northern Affairs for the Canadian Government -- passes on these somewhat mysterious letters and memoranda of the now-missing Kelvin Throop. Where Throop has gone is unknown, but it is our belief that he will appear elsewhere. Any readers who run across Mr. Throop's futher letters or memoranda, are urgently invited to send them in to Analog. Whatever name Throop has adopted, we are sure he will reveal himself in the outrageiously, intolerable and antisocial attitude toward truth he so clearly displays in these notes. He actually states it! Oubviously this is not to be allowed in a polite society. It is our hope we will be able to track him down by gathering further memoranda from his acid pen. Our readers are asked to be on the lookout, and send in any pieces they encounter."
