Founding editor of The Ecphorizer George Towner refers to the first 70 issues as The Ecphorizer Canon.  The Canon runs from September 1981 to September 1987.  During that run, George saw to it that over fifty of his submissions were printed.  In 1993 George created a collection of his articles into a book titled Ecphorizations, which was privately printed in 1993.  George assembled his collection under several sections.  Here is a table listing the Table of Contents of Ecphorizations.  As you'll notice as you browse these articles, clever George occasionally wanted to cloak his identity as the author, as some of them were written under various fishy pseudonyms.  Articles that have been uploaded have active links.  The section headers are also active links, taking you to pages that contain George's introductory remarks for each section.
