From: LINDSAY@TL-20B.ARPA Morris Keesan has a good memory. "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble" (Holley Cantine, 1959) is indeed in Judith Merril's 6th Annual Edition (The Year's Best S-F, 1961). They reprinted it from "The Best from Fantasy And Science Fiction, Tenth Series". Now that everyone has read the two books that I mentioned Friday (you all did, didn't you?), your next assignments are: "A For Anything" or "The People Maker" (Damon Knight, 1959). The classic work about the social impact of a duplicating machine. (In a word, slavery.) "The Eternity Brigade" (Stephen Goldin, 1980). The logical extension of Knight's ideas into the realm of interstellar armies. It started small... with cryogenics ... but as in Haldeman's "The Forever War", the soldiers soon found that they had no way out ... Don Lindsay -------

It _is_ "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble" by Holley Cantine, copyright 1959. The book is Judith Merril's 6th Annual Edition The Year's Best SF (black cover with a ?planet? on it - 50 cents) for 1961. -- William Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!sigma!bill
