The two places in which the references appear are in _JOB_ and in a short-story called _They_. Also, someone wrote me a short while ago, asking about the story _Gulf_, which is connected to _Friday_. The story is in a collection called _Assignment in Eternity_ which is still in print (I think); I happened to remember it because they have been advertisements for Astounding in microfiche, and the issue which has _Gulf_ in it is one they are handing out as a freebie to show off the product. -- Charlie Martin (...mcnc!duke!crm)
