and is hereby invited to attend a brief ceremony at which he will
be awarded the Jared Anderson Prize. The trophy consists of a pair
of seebackroscope spectacles mounted on a hollowed-out turnip sporting
big black wraparound eyes. It is awarded occasionally to those who
manage to know all about books and reports they haven't read because
they don't like what's inside them.

Part of our book, written by contributor Montague Keen, actually

- Keen's piece is based on and developed from the piece he published
in Messrs Stacy and Huyghe's very wonderful "Anomalist" No 4.

"Ion plasma vortices" *sound* to me like a version of Dr Terence
Meaden's theories about the natural formation of crop circles. And
personally, I suspect anything much more elaborate than a single
solitary circle in crops (and some of them too) is made by
human beings - admittedly ones with infra-red vision and a lot of
rather nasty beer froth in their beards, but it takes all sorts.
Some of my longest telephone calls have been made to crop circle
makers and on that basis I guess they count among my better friends.
This despite the fact that I really, secretly, *prefer* the notion
that the circles are made by millions of hedgehogs engaging one
another in synchronised designer sex.

O dear facts are confusing.

Yours &c
