In view of this providential circumstance, one of the Birds renowned for his tracking abilities ("I see in your past life you were named, uh, something like Magua or Tecumseh...") was assigned the task of locating the Lucas' room number at the Inn that Friday evening before the keynote address, indeed while AAA and MT watched Total Recall (see December/January issue). Having made the proper connections, crossed the appropriate palms or whatever it took to obtain that intelligence, our tracker was to slip a note from MT under their door requesting an interview at their convenience for the Chronicle, giving them our room phone number.

MT got to the plasticine rendezvous first, basically to check the place out for possible "bugs", wired booths or transistorized trays and to see what their fries were like.
