From: Marvin Minsky <MINSKY%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC.ARPA> Anyone know who wrote these two stories? 1. There is a guerilla war, and there are nice little kids who are hungry and pathetic. When you take them home they blow up. Maybe Philip Dick or Damon Knight? 2. A story in which the aliens land, but all the scientists who try to communicate with them go mad because their ideas are too alien. Finally a business enterpreneur goes into the ship and makes contact with their businessman, and pulls off some kind of good deal. Because business must show profit and loss, however alien everything else is. Maybe Keith Laumer?
