'Loophole' is the title of a science fiction story by Arthur C Clarke.
I haven't read it, but perhaps it was something like a black hole, attracting stars to their doom?

I looked up the Arthur C Clarke story but it didn't seem to fit.

Just a suggestion but TRICHOME - Star
RICH in TOME (book)

Question Author

I'm 99.999% sure that my letters are correct, so can't be TRICHOME. The first 'O' comes from EDGEWORTH (Value on margin of Irish writer). The 'P' comes from TEACUP (Location of storm? or sleepy creature (The Dormouse in Alice). Thanks anyway Kayakima.

FOOTNOTE (sometimes has a "star" = asterisk)

Question Author

Thanks for the suggestion. You may be right - I had TEACUP for the across clue which could possibly be TEAPOT, which would allow for FOOTNOTE.

I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO PUZZLE OR TO THE ANSWER THERETO THAT WAS PUBLISHED A FEW WEEKS LATER. TEAPOT WORKS AS WELL AS TEACUP, AS I RECALL, AND MAKES "FOOTNOTE" ALL THE LIKELIER.
