David Alexander writes: "Decoys and The Frequency
crystallized out of today's conspiracy Zeitgeist, but there
are
tie-lines to reality for both. For Decoys, it was a story I heard
concerning a local fisherman who, having caught a piranha someone had dumped in
the lake of a nearby park, tried to get the carnivorous fish adopted
(successfully, as it turned out). For The Frequency, it was the well
known strange encounter on a Manhattan street corner between Dan Rather and two
men who allegedly beat him up while cryptically demanding, "Kenneth, what's
the frequency?" The phrase has been synonymous with the bizarre and
inexplicable since the event took place in the late '80s, and has lately formed
the basis for some literary ruminations of mine. In fact I'm planning a series
of "Kenneth" stories, of which this is the first."
