The flaw in the approach is that        Man Plus' Australians may be more racist than greedy.              Abstention is best when given a choice to exclusively worship either       Phobos (god of fear, whose domain includes xenophobia) or Mammon.              The commencement of my Milton PARADISE LOST hearing already hit pay       dirt with the SPACE SEED episode of Star Trek: TOS. The thing unearths       a Milton motherload and mentions him in its denouement. Your review       leaves me with the impression this Pohl may follow a similar vein.              --       Don.......My cat's )\._.,--....,'``. veritas _|_       telltale tall tail /, _.. \ _\ (`._ ,. liberabit |       tells tall tales.. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.' vos |              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
