Notes: Vol. 29, No. 2. Interior artwork credits based on signatures. The letter by John D. Clark claims authorship of "The Silicone World" essay which was credited to Pratt in the December issue. Pratt's letter indicates that Clark's contention is mostly true but also indicates that many of the original ideas incorporated in the article originated from the authors who used the article as a basis for their stories.
