Well sure, I remember them (as well as his Union Club stories), but, well, they're not science fiction! --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA <"Bibliography is my business">

I thought bibliography was your business. You flubbed up. At least three
of the 36 Black Widowers stories are sf in nature or topic ("The Backward
Look" comes to mind). In fact, a goodly percentage of the BW stories were
bought by IASFM and F&SF -- I'm almost certain (I don't have the books handy)
that F&SF + IASFM have bought more BW stories than EQ or any other mystery
magazine!
