It's not quite the same thing in this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Writing-At-Work-Professional-Skills/dp/0844259837/

Chapter 23 "Maintaining Flow from Sentence to Sentence" discusses
linking sentences through "head to head" and "head to tail" linking.

Head-to-head:

"LS is a program...  It lets you list on your screen... The program
produces a UNIX-like directory..."

Head-to-tail:

"LS lists on your screen the contents of a directory or disk. These
contents may be listed in various ways. One way is by alphabetical
order."
