Bruce Pelz's SAPS apazine. The name referred to his hobby of spelunking, with the editorial called "The Crawlway", mailing comments "The Cabel [sic; elsewhen also Cabal] Ladder" etc. Late issues lost the article to mere SpeleoBem, although inconsistently (in fact, as the title was all-caps, BEM's exact capitalisation is uncertain).
