Ironically, it's the suppression of all mention of it which is the
only reason I started paying attention to it in the first place.
Until Fred Bauder made some comment about "dem attic" I didn't know
anything about this particular "outing".  Until Thomas Dalton implied
that no suppression was taking place, I figured the whole thing was
just some fringe conspiracy theory.

By the way, I found a copy of some old history dumps on my hard drive.
 Haven't gotten them loaded up yet.  I'm not sure if I should share
the results beyond confirming whether or not there are in fact
oversighted versions of that article.  My interest is in the coverup,
not the identity of SV (barring evidence of the "secret agent" stuff
beyond "Salinger came to believe...").
