L.I.K. Can't find it?

Assuming the link works for you, it's toward the end of the article -

"...through three eras with distinct personalities: Allan Scott’s puzzles, for example, are fonder of a classic film or a proper name, as I recall, than those that came after from Colin Gumbrell or those before from Dorothy Taylor and Alec Robins. And there’s never been anyone quite like Derrick Macnutt."

Look at the answer to this question

“You told me a while back that you were Everyman, but asked me to keep it under my hat – why the secrecy? “

But to be honest I don’t think that knowing who they are really makes much difference

Agreed, Toorak - for peace of mind, I was trying to shed light on "4,000 - A celebration". I vaguely recalled the article & the penny dropped.

Thanks folks.

I worked out the theme in reverse - after I had completed the puzzle. I thought that the names must be significant and did a search.
