The Gagarin Tape
Damon Douglas gave Peter Gagarin a tape recorder and asked him to run a course while talking about what he was doing. It was a great idea. The result - The Gagarin Tape - was fascinating. Peter narrated his race, describing what he was thinking and seeing.
Damon gave me a copy of the tape and the map with Peter's course. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I did with the tape. Maybe it is in a box in my basement. Maybe I gave it to someone and never got it back. Maybe I threw it away.
If anyone out there reading this has a copy of the tape, please let me know. I'd love to get a copy. I'd also love to get the audio and map on the web.
World of O News
The latest from WorldofO.com is embargoed until 8:00 central European time on March 28 (which is, I think, a bit over 4 hours from right now). I won't reveal the news...but I'd suggest that once that time has past, you head on over to WorldofO and look for the news yourself.
As a regular reader of crime novels to me this sounds like a plot straight out of a Robert Ludlim novel... Could it be that the Gagarin Tape has been destroyed by secret agents in order to keep the more advanced steps of North American O techniques secret from the rest of the world?
