Dear Mr. Olrik,
I've seen the likes of you before, and let me tell you I don't like your
sort one bit! No sirree! If you think you can peddle your obscurantist
nostrums willy-nilly with never a thought for the consequences, well let
me tell you you'd better think twice. This sort of mischievous
flim-flammery may be winked at by the debauched and cynical denizens of
your so-called cosmopolitan European nations, but here in the good ol'
U.S. of A. we take a view towards such practices which is considerably
less blah-zay! Oh, yes indeedy Mike!
I expect you are probably one of these lesbian deconstrunctionist types
who would rather see our children raised in communist
government-controlled day-care centers than drop a bomb or two on Saddam
Hussein to save the planet from total biological annihilation. What you
need, sir, is a swift kick in the buttski.
Sincerely,
Cpl. Henry M. Dujeous, USMC (reserve)

I was wondering what the name of the bookstore was? Could you send me aany additional info about "The Incident"? Did you find out what O.L.R.I.K. Means? Please e-mail me back, your story is interesting and I want to learn more about it.
All you need to know I will tell you. But it must be in person.There is a bridge in Paris that I have only dreamed of. The clue to its location is to be found within Samuel Beckett's translation (from french to english) of Apollinaire's poem, Zone. More than this I cannot say. If you contact me on this delicate matter I will answer you, but expect no response. In confidence. The Bullfighter
Dear Mr. Olrik: I really enjoyed your website about your discovery of your family name on a book. That is a sad note to hear that your book was stolen. I wish you luck in finding it. Yours sincerely, K. F
Mr. Olrik, I refer you to Group 421 -- a clandestine US/Japan research team organized to continue the medical experiments first conducted by the Imperial Japanese Army on American POWS (1933-45). Part of the research also includes studying the effects of radiation from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atom bombs on latent human paranormal activity. I will tell you only this. The Incident, as you call it, took place in Germany in 1944 (not the "mid-50s"), in cooperation with Imperial Japanese Army representatives. Sir, you are looking on the wrong side of the world. AM

You apparently have walked into something a bit beyond our comprehension. It sounds like the only way anyone could have known that you had the book, was from the person you bought it from. I suppose that in your conversation with him (her), that you mentioned that the book's pseudo-title was your last name. Anyone who inquired about the book from the seller, would likely have been able to locate you relatively easily. I would suspect that the bookseller might have a clue as to who broke into your house, as he was the only other person who knew you bought it, except, of course, for your friend who received your photo scans. Its also likely the book seller might not reveal anything, as it might endanger him (if the powers revealed by the photos are any indication) Obviously the Mr Oswald refers to Lee Harvey, the accepted assassin of John F Kennedy, if we believe the Warren Report. The image does look a bit like him, which would likely place the photographs' origin around the late 50's/ early 60's. I just had a flash of insight. Maybe the bookshop is where such a rare, and inconspicuous book was being kept for someone else to pick up, who would know to either look for, or ask for it. In other words, maybe the book was returned to the bookseller for safekeeping until it could be received by the intended person. How about sending a friend over to ask for the book and see if he responds? Even a "no" answer might reveal some behavioral clues as to whether the bookseller knows what it is, and who might want it. As to the name Olrik, I would think that it probably does not stand for anything substantial (except of course for your last name), as the material in the book appears to be extremely inportant to somebody. If it is secret material, you wouldn't just print the name of the organization, or any other indcation of its contents right on the front cover. Instead you would put some other innocuous name that has no relation to the material. That way, an intended recipient could ask for the book without divulging any aspects of the material to the seller, or any innocent customers. Then again, someone has gone out of their way to break into your house and only steal that book, which means they have no qualms about raising your suspicions and interest about it. They could have just ransacked the place, taken some other items, and made it look like a common burglary and you wouldn't be any the wiser. That they only took the book was a message in itself to maybe just let it alone. If you really want to follow it up, talk to the bookseller, or have someone else talk to the bookseller, as that's the only way anyone of human origin would be able to find out that you bought it. On the other hand, you might not want to mess with it. There is enough crazy shit going on as it is, and individual human lives become rather unimportant to people with agendas. Do what you will, but don't hurt yourself. VeMan
Franz a Mesmer (1734-1815), an Austrian physician practicing in Vienna and Paris in the late 18th century, believed that hysterical disorders were caused by a particular distribution of a universal magnetic fluid in the body. Moreover, he felt that one person could influence the fluid of another to bring about a change in the other's behavior. He conducted meetings cloaked in mystery and mysticism, during which afflicted patients sat around a covered banquet, or tub, with iron rods protruding through the cover from bottles of various chemicals that were beneath. Mesmer would enter a room, clothed in rather outlandish garments, take various rods from the tub, and touch afflicted parts of his patients, bodies. The rods were believed to transmit animal magnetic fluid, thereby removing the hysterical anesthesias and paralyses. Whatever we my think of what seems today to be a questionable theoretical explanation and procedure, Mesmer apparently helped many people overcome their hysterical problems. The reader may wonder about discussing Mesmer's work under the rubric of psychogenic causes, since Mesmer regarded the hysterical disorders as strictly physical. Because of the setting in which Mesmer worked with his patients, however, he is generally considered one of the earlier practitioners of modern-day hypnosis. The word "mesmerize" is the older term for "hypnotize". The phenomenon itself, however, was known to the ancients of probably every culture, part of the sorcery and magic of conjurers, fakirs, and faith healers. Mesmer was regarded as a quack by his contemporaries.
Just how far did Mesmer go to balance the universal magnetic fluid? The history books don't say. But ask yourself this, if you had the power to correct mental/physical illnesses with just a iron rod and static electricity, could you change a person's way of thinking and acting, or even control them by using a iron ball and an enormous amount of electricity? I'm sure that it is a question he asked himself (ex. Oswald, control to kill). Good luck and keep me informed. I may have other information that would be helpful to you. But this is all the time I have for now. VI
