Acrostics Mr. Gann, ala Lord Verulam?

Not to give away the farm, but did you, Mr. Gann, perhaps bury many dogs identified only by acrostic pointers in "The Tunnel Thru the Air"…... as did, allegedly, Lord Bacon, First Baron of Verulam in various works of Shakespeare?

To wit, did you bury a dog that barks "Path to WAR?"

Page 68 I find:

The beginning of the last three lines of the above are "This," "arising" and "of."  The first letter of each word spells "Tao" with a capital "T"….which can mean "Path."  If you were to count the lines from the beginning of the word "Chapter VI" and assign 1 for each horizontal space between paragraphs, you'd find "This" appears on line 289.

Similarly on page 71 I find….in all capital letter "WAR."

Quite conspicuously, "With," "As" and "Robert."  Or "WAR", also conspicuously in all capital letters.  I was very disappointed when I found the line number on which "With" appears is line number 452 of Chapter VI.  After all, 452 / 289 is 1.56.  Doesn't ring a particularly loud bell.  Perhaps 1.56^4 is nearly 6 but still….no happy ending.  Or maybe 452 minus 289 is 163, close to Phi X 100…nah.

But there MUST be a "to" and yes there is.  On page 69 we find:

[As an aside, wasn't Robert Gordon born amidst several '69s'….June 9, 1906?]

Again, the first letter of the last two lines are 't' and 'o' spelling 'to.'  "Path to WAR"…and what was a major theme of TTTTA?  WAR.

Now to put a finer point on it; the "The" containing the 'T' is on line 370 of Chapter VI.  We have a happy ending (no, not War but considering the events of last week, perhaps).  We have lines 289, 370 and 452.  And 370 is near perfectly equidistant from 289 and 452.  Line 370 is 81 lines after line 289 and 82 lines before line 452.

Coincidentally (or not), the 288 lines preceding line 289 constitutes a notable number.  Twice chapter six is 12, twelve squared is 144 (Mr. Gann's square of 12 and the 12th Fibonacci number), and twice that is 288.  It might or might not be coincidence or meaningful that page 289 is the page on which the US has its first victory over the Allied Enemy resulting from Robert Gordon and Walter Kennelworth's downing of hundreds of enemy planes.

Coincidentally again Mr. Gann, we find the "to" on noteworthy page 69 brings us to the Book of Jonah as to which you remark that the man who understands that scripture has "...all the power under heaven and earth…" and that he "….has the key to the interpretation of the future."  Perhaps we have also the "path to Jonah."

Nevertheless, I have found a very happy ending.  The above encoded message vastly defies randomness in my opinion.  For it is by "Gann design…."  [pardon the pun].

Perhaps there are many many triple tau dogs buried in 420 pages of TTTTA.  [Hmmm, 420 pages divided by 10.]
