No - see my quote from Collected Stories upthread. AtFoN was rewritten 
later as tCatS; both share conceptual origins with tLoC the same way 
that Rescue Party & History Lesson both share the same conceptual 
origins but are otherwise different stories (somewhere in Collected 
Stories, he talks of the RP/HS origins too).

of discussion, the more the public talks about it, thinks about it. The 
longer and more stubborn the silence the guiltier it looks to the 
talkers and thinkers. In time of war the most morale-lowering question 
that can be asked is, 'What are they hiding from us now?'"
