267

Please ask all earned “Are you OnlyName?” questions by noon EST Monday.

269

I can’t think of anything.

270

271

Still nada.

272

Right, then. I am

Ballard

The secretive, near-legendary organizer of Sanctuary and helper of runners in the 1967 dystopic sf novel Logan’s Run by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. The character doesn’t appear in the cheesy 1976 movie.

273

Ah. Never read it. Saw the movie, though.

274

Read the book in '76 or '77, shortly after seeing the movie. Don’t remember the character.

275

Anyone else?

276

I 'm game.

I am Y.

277

Should have been clearer. I was asking if anyone else had heard of Ballard.

278

Ah. I read the book in about 1985? I don’t remember much.

279

Haven’t read the book either.

280

OK, thanks anyway. kitap has the ball with Y, then.
