The story about the cute kids who kill you when you get them home is definitely (that's right deryk, stick your neck out) Philip Dick - will check title tonight. I seem to recall there being 3 types of enemy robot of which the last (and before the punchline undiscovered) are the cute kids - ring any bells?

A couple of days ago someone asked about a story where people played a D-and-D type of game on board a spacecraft, and when they got to where they were going, some of them kept slipping into their characters and losing touch with reality. The story is "The Saturn Game" by Poul Anderson, serialised in "Explorations" printed by Pinnacle books, isbn 0-523-48-517-4. The back of the title page says "Copyright Analog 1981" for that story, so I suppose one should check issues of Analog in late in 1980 or early in 1981 (the book was published in November 1981). -------

Title and author sought for a short story that to the best of my
recollection appeared in Astounding in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
Epigraph was the folk song _Samuel Hall_ ("For my name is Samuel Hall
... and I hate you one and all ...) I think the topic was computer
sabotage but I may have misremembered that (memory is the second thing
to go with age. The first is ... ah ... oh, never mind.)
Any pointers out there? Thanx,
