And it's older than 20 years, since I read it 22 years ago,       and in Danish translation. So changes are you're not thinking about the       Bradbury story (also, did he ever manage to squeeze anythig into Analog?).              But I'm mostly just extremely surprised that neither you nor Dan knows       about "Frost and Fire". I assumed it was easily on the top 10 list of       speculative fiction short stories that everybody knows about.              --       Peter Knutsen       sagatafl.org              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
