SPACEWAYS 13 LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP, CYNIC they are s-s-supers. Thank God, you did not make any outrageously false statements concerning said Arisians outside of saying it took Mentor 26 seconds to solve the problem when in reality it was 29; but you do make my blood boil red, white, and blue when you ask such a positively stupid question as "Why doesn't Mentor take a couple of ohours and think out the solutionto the entire Boskonian problem?" Jumping Juniper-fish, didn't you read "Galactic Patrol"? You implied you did and if you didn't you positively had no business asking that question since you were not in possession of all the facts; and if you did read it, you should have had enough sense to answer the question yourself. Apparently-- very apparently--you didn't, so I shall answer it for you. (GP, p III, p 148, Arisian to Helmuth): "Your destruction by us would not be good for that struggling young civilization which you oppose. We have given that civilization an instrument by virtue of which it should become able to destroy you and everything for which you stand. If it cannot do so, it is not yet ready to become a civilization and your obnoxious culture shall be allowed to conquer and to flourish for a time." That is the prime Arisian tenet in regards the war between C and B. That is why Mentor does not either think up a solution or give said solution (if he knows it) to Civilization. Whose ears are red now? Not mine. Bearing no personal ill-will toward you (except I do not personally like your attitude toward Chris whom I had grown to love), I hope I have so trampled and beaten you to a pulp verbally that you will never, never again "throw together" such "a....mess of inconsistency, irrelevancy, and sheer bull." Addenda: I make no claims to being omniscient. Any statements of mine you wish to construe as being false are perfectly open to being blasted out of the ether--if you can back up your statements with facts. Your obdt. critic, Sylvester Brown, Jr. AVE ATQUE VALE! (concluded from page 7) final record; WINIFIELD S. LOVECRAFT 1853-1898 His wife SARAH S. PHILLIPS 1857-1921 Their Son HOWARD P. LOVECRAFT 1890-1937 But those who knew him will turn from that simple inscription, as I have done, with a heaviness of heart and a longing of soul that find alleviation only in the wealth of precious and happy memories, his generous bequest to those who shared his love. THE RASCALITY OF THE RUSSIAN RUGCUTTER (concluded from page 9) "Here', what d'you think you're doing?" he roared. "Drunk, are you? C'mon , get up." "My clothes," I wailed, rising. Wildly I looked about. Behind me was a little store with cobwebby windows. Above the door was the sign: "Ivan the Ignoramus". The cop hit me a crack across the buttocks with his club. With a howl,I leaped into the protection of the door. Then with another howl I leaped back. There stood Ivan the Ignoramus, the Russian Rugcutter, wearing my clothes and twirling my watch by the chain.
