Where Have You Gone, Sidd Finch?

"What do you want?"

SI explained its hope to find out more about Finch, specifically about his intentions to put in an appearance at the Sydney Olympics.

"The what?"

"The Olympics."

"You've found out about the javelins?"

After a pause, and only slightly less acidly, Plimpton said, "Well, I have Sidd's phone number in London. I call it on occasion. There's never any answer. But the other day I called and it was busy."

And he said no more.
