FT 157 features an outstanding photo of "Balaji",
a human baby with a very well-formed tail (p. 11).
The caption refers to and old issue, FT 52, which
addresses the subject of tailed humans in greater
detail. I can't find the issue in the archives.
Anybody out there able to scan it and send it to
me?

My new book, "The Last Days of Madame Rey", to be
published in November and featuring Fortean P.I.
Stephan Raszer, contains a subplot which conjec-
tures a "bifurcation" of the human species some
9000 years ago into those of us descended from the
humble lemur (see Lemuria) and still possessed of
a vestigial tail (coccyx) and "the others", soul-
less mercantilists and keepers of the Old Order,
whose backsides display a knobby stub where a tailbone should be. Yeah, it's fiction, but I'd still love to hear any tall tales that are circul- ating out there. Thanks. AW Hill
