The only reference to the author, Al Silverman, on the basis of information known about him, is one mention that he edited a manuscript for "Saga" Magazine in 1956 which was published under the title, "The Case History of a Turncoat."'

A search of Bureau indices on 1/3/61 failed to show any additional information identifiable with Silverman since his background is unknown. The New York Office has been requested to determine Silverman's identity through established contacts inasmuch as the editorial offices of Hillman Publications, the publishers of Pageant,’ are located there. We have had favorable relations with ‘'Pageant" Magazine, and they have printed a number of favorable articles regarding the Bureau.
