The story's first page credits Eleanor King as the writer of this article, whereas the table of contents credits Shelly Shetron. Because Shetron has no other credits in this magazine she is presumed to be the true author, as it's more likely that a previously-credited contributor would receive an erroneous credit than would someone who had never been published by the magazine.
