Almost as an afterthought, he signed his handiwork with the drawing of the head of a fox, he told the Tribune in a 1999 interview. Other acts included plugging smokestacks and dumping pollution at the homes and offices of executives of companies that polluted. Years afterward, environmental groups credited him with inspiring others to action against industrial polluters, while at least one conservative think-tank described him as the first notorious eco-saboteur. Even after clean air and water laws prompted him to scale back his strikes, Mr. Phillips never officially revealed his identity as The Fox.
