About two weeks ago, this editorial was written to the Baltimore Sun
apparently after another paper had printed pictures of the costume call.
"FIGHT THE STRANGE CULTS OF SCIENCE FICTION
In observing the photographs (The News
American, Sept. 4) of girls in costume at the
World Science Fiction Fair held at the Balti-
more Convention Center, I thought to myself
that the girls indeed had beautiful faces, but
their eyes held a vacant stare, as if they were
under a strange power or a cult.
Adults should fight cults that ruin and
warp children's thinking in the name of sci-
ence fiction.. The history of natural sciences is
an education for all. Our best teacher in sci-
ence is still nature.

I think any sort of modelling show with all the tension that goes
along with it, like smiling for hours on end for endless photographers
would make anyone seem a little glazed. Geez!

So the ladies had glazed eyes, did they? Well anybody would have glazed eyes after 5 days of solid partying. (I did) That sort of ignorant bigotry produced the Spanish Inquisition and the bombing at the Marine Camp. /crc clyde!crc
