your neighbors." Headquarters were at 507 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, a real address which Abel used to receive SINA mail. Some letters were from people looking to subscribe to SINA's occasional newsletter; others were from potential newsletter contributors, as the organization also sponsored mail-in essay-writing contests such as "Why I Choose To Be A Decent Person." SINA also (falsely) claimed to have branch offices in London, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. SINA actually acquired ardent supporters, some of whom attempted to contribute a great deal of money to the organization. The money was invariably returned, as neither Abel nor Henry wished to be charged with mail fraud by accepting donations for a bogus charity. In public appearances (and in letters accompanying returned money or checks), "Prout" was careful to note that the by-laws of SINA prevented him from accepting donations, as he was independently wealthy and financed the operation through his own private means.

At least one LP record, Inside SINA, was released in 1964. By this time, the hoax had been exposed, and Henry was no longer affiliated with the project. The record contained interview material with "Bruce Spencer" (i.e., Abel); G. Clifford Prout was frequently referenced in the liner notes and spoken material, but did not make an appearance. The album contains several SINA-related anthems and songs, and a Q&A feature detailing SINA and its aims. Exposure The hoax was exposed when staff on Walter Cronkite's CBS television news show recognized Buck Henry while broadcasting an interview of "G. Clifford Prout" by Cronkite. (Henry was known to
