The SF writers who make up the "threat team" in Niven & Pournelle's new
book _Footfall_ are:

	Robert & Virginia Anson
	Sherry Atkinson
	Nat Reynolds
	Joe Ransom
	Wade and Jane Curtis
	Bob Burnham
	Carol North (added later)

Most obviously, The first are Robert (Anson) and Virginia Heinlein. Nat
Reynolds and Wade Curtis write together, and both live in Los Angeles (if
that's not enough of a clue, check out Curtis' response to the aliens'
conditional surrender: "Nuke them till they glow, and then shoot then in
the dark").

The remainder are not clear to me. The only other real clues are that
Atkinson is pacififistic (non-paranoid, as Anson puts it). Bob Burnham has
white hair and wears a gaudy vest, Ransom has a thick black mustache. Carol
North could be Andre Norton, except that she is depicted as rather young.

Ah, well, its fun guessing.
