The story has been published in several anthologies, I have it in: *The Hugo Winners: volumes 1 & 2* edited by Isaac Asimov *Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Treasury* edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin Greenberg and Joseph Olander *The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, volume 1* edited by Robert Silverberg It won a Hugo in 1961 in the "short fiction" category. I have heard that a longer version was published, but I have never seen it. (Actually, I probably have not checked the three versions I have to see if they are the same length.) Does anyone know about a longer version? Was it published, is it widely available? B.J.
