"Baby, you saw more ceiling before 20 than Michelangelo in a life of decorating." Then back to the States for my degree, grad work in linguistics, and more prizes. Mentor! she screamed. It was a strange thing for him to be thinking, and quite suddenly he knew it was no thought of his, but of this other that was in the room with him. Not always. And the likelihood is not enough to satisfy me. Blast Titus Wrixton, too. I dont understand the likes of him. What kind of man goes blithely on making a confounded fool of himself over a woman? Everyones doing their best, he said. Maybe they can get a ship up to me in time—but in case they can’t—well, I wanted to speak to you and the children.” He looked into the arbour. From somewhere up in the ceiling of honeysuckle there was a flutter of wings. Sparrows. The room seemed to concentrate the odour of grass clippings, fresh from yesterday's mowing. Patrick glanced over at the stone table, and permitted himself the habitual morning question: Would he have a few moments to work on his article? This was followed by a prompt companion thought. He was being stupid even to think about it. In three years he had not even finished the first chapter. And already the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals had wrought far-reaching revisions in the law of prior printed publication. Maybe he should pick another subject. An article he could do quickly, get into print quickly, before the Court could hand down a modifying decision. Somehow, there must be a way to get this thing off dead centre. A top-flight professional in any field ought to publish. Not that he was really that good. Still, as Francis Bacon had said, a man owed a debt to his profession. Does it matter if it does hurt?” said Rogov. This is the triumph of all our work. Bring it down.” "No such thing, Rampart," Dublin said cheerfully. "My land checks perfectly. So does Hydes. So does yours, if we knew how to check it. Its like one of those trick topological drawings. It really is a half mile from here to there, but the eye gets lost somewhere. It's your land. Crawl through the fence and figure it out." At first he didnt notice, but the farther and farther that Jake got into the mine, the less and less it looked like a mine to him. There was something funny about the walls, and maybe about the ground. All of a sudden old Jake got a pretty scary idea, and his chest got all knotted up inside, and he turned around to scram out of there. And they gazed out of the windows of the cab with no great interest and they chewed their gum as if they tasted in it the mild, approaching flavor of the quiet weekend at home. I lunged, but it was too late; she had already shot the bolt. And so I sat in the midst of my diminishing body, suffering while every other girl in the place listened to him sing. I knew then that I had to act; I would regain myself somehow, I would find food and regain my flesh and then I would go to Tommy. I would use force if I had to, but I would hear him sing. I raged through the room all that morning, hearing the shrieks of five hundred girls, the thunder of their feet, but even when I pressed myself against the wall I could not hear Tommys voice. In the meantime, two of the top graduates ofFantastics Class of62 have just published their first novels: Zelazny’sThis Immortal (Ace) and Disch’s TheGenocides (Berkley). (Zelazny also took two of the first SFWA awards for 1965: for the novelette,The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth inF&SF and the novella“He Who Shapes” inAmazing.) Fissoni did that, Mike said. The best Italian architect, if you ask me. A Communist. But you know, Communism here has nothing to do with the kind at home. Its not subversive. It’s all in the mind. Intellectual. Almost all the best painters and sculptors here are Communists.” A Vacation on Earth Those squids, Im now certain, are in Trinco Deep for the same reason that there are men at the South Pole or on the Moon. Pure scientific curiosity has drawn them from their icy home to investigate this geyser of hot water welling from the sides of the canyon. Here is a strange and inexplicable phenomenon—possibly one that menaces their way of life. So they have summoned their giant cousin (servant? slave?) to bring them a sample for study. I cannot believe that they have a hope of understanding it; after all, no scientist on earth could have done so as late as a century ago. But they are trying, and that is what matters. Which is what so excited both me and my dear mentor, and from the moment of my arrival in Bucks was the constant roundelay of all our conversation, this, because of the still fragile state of my sensibility, conducted entirely by intercom. (Until that fairly frightening adieu.) "Whereas— " said She, in the language agreed upon for Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Wednesdays and Saturdays she taught me to converse in her native one — too volatile by far. As beings of negative gravity or mass-gravity relation, we understandably ground better in the heavier languages. Sunday, her dayoff, she practiced her own Elsewhere. So it was, by such routines, they taught me a number of things at once — from Days of the Week to all the primary facts of Differential Experience: National, Linguisticand Individual— just as you teach your young to colour-count-read.
