Abstract: 
This little directory claims to contain "the only 400 telephone numbers you'll ever need to find most of the information you'll ever want". The assumption is that if the number you need isn't in this booklet, then at least someone listed here can point you to the source or contact you want: "If you can get to 400 people, you can get to anyone in the world". The other assumption, as in most U.S. publications, is that the only people in the world you'd ever want to talk to are Americans. For all that, it is a useful list of U.S. organizations, associations, and key government bodies, under a wide range of headings, and with good subject and name indices.
