Edward Connors, on assignment for Folks, set out to interview nine people who had been struck by lightning. "Nine?" he said to his editor, Penfield. "Nine, ten," said Penfield, "doesnt matter, but it has to be more than eight." "Why?" asked Connors, and Penfield said that the layout was scheduled for five pages and they wanted at least two people who had been struck by lightning per page plus somebody pretty sensational for the opening page. "Slightly wonderful," said Penfield, "nice body, I dont have to tell you, somebody with a special face. Also, struck by lightning."

Connors advertised in the Village Voice for people who had been struck by lightning and would be willing to talk for publication about the experience and in no time at all was getting phone calls. A number of the callers, it appeared, had great-grandfathers or grandmothers who had also been struck by lightning, usually knocked from the front seat of a buck-board on a country road in 1910. Connors took down names and addresses and made appointments for interviews, trying to discern from the voices if any of the women callers might be, in the magazines terms, wonderful.
