...approved Mr. Fort's writings as esoteric literature as being followers of his ideas. I promptly and publicly repudiated any such implication ... in my column in the Scripps-Howard newspapers. Indeed, so far as I know, Benjamin DeCasseres is the only writer, aside from Mr. [Tiffany] Thayer, who has ever taken Fort seriously as a scientist. It is not likely that such persons as the late Justice Holmes, Lincoln Steffens and myself would entertain any such views as those implicit in Mr. Fort's writings...

David Stern. Fort himself said almost nothing, quietly sipped ginger ale. The others enthusiastically laid plans for a Fortean Society which would propagate Fortism to the ends of the earth. The exhilaration of that dinner passed. In 1932 Fort died in The Bronx...
Last week Fortism had its renaissance in Vol. 1, No. 1 of a slim journal called The Fortean Society Magazine, edited by Tiffany Thayer. The lead article, written by Publisher Thayer, purported to prove that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan were "murdered"-i. e., went astray in the Pacific because geodesists do not really know how to make accurate maps of the earth's surface. A black-bordered rectangle bore the legend: "These honored dead were Forteans: OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES - LINCOLN STEFFENS."
