On Venus, men bred themselves anew. There is no lie so totally convincing as something the other fellow already knows-for-sure is the truth. And no cover-story so convincing… He reached into his left pocket. It was filled with a glorious emptiness. He felt a weight of some long tons of lifting from his shoulders. And you were alone at the time. Go back to Flatland. Imagine a hollow paper pyramid on the surface of that two-dimensional world. To a Flat-lander, it is a triangle. Flop down the sides—four triangles. Now put a molecule in each face—one molecule, four molecules. And recall that you have infinite dimensions available. Think of the storage possibilities alone. All the books of the world in a viewer, all the food in the world in your pack. A television the size of a piece of paper; circuits looped through dim-19. Loop an entire industrial plant through hyperspace, and get one the size and shape of a billboard. Shove raw materials in one side—pull finished products out the other! "You dont know golden," I said. "But if he does, split it with me." The pilot nodded, shrugged, and turned front again. The skimmer leaped forward. Theyll be listening to my symphony, enjoying a neurophonic experience of sufficient beauty and power, I hope, to distract them from the sight of a blowzy prima donna gesturing to herself in a cocaine fog. They’ll probably think she’s conducting. Remember, they may be expecting her to singbut how many people still know what the word really means? Most of them will assume its ultrasonic. by Daniel Keyes Jehovah? Carol Emshwiller is the wife of the experimental moviemaker, and s-f illustrator, Ed Emshwiller. Like Katherine MacLean, she began as a writer of (outstanding but) conventional science-fiction— then stopped publishing for several years, while her work underwent an extraordinary development. In the last two years, new series of distinctive individual character have appeared in Transatlantic Review, City, Cavalier,and the anthology Dangerous Visions. It perhaps was a foolish thing to do, but the old creature had been such a kind savage, so fumbling and so pitiful and eager to help. And one who travels far and fast must likewise travel light. There had been nothing else to give. Were almost there, said Gargarin. He meant the top of the hill. "Vyme. I want to pay some attention to you. Slowly Poloscki walked back into the orange light. "Youve been sending me kids for five years now, coming around and checking up on them, helping them out of the stupid scrapes they get in. They havent all been Ratlits. I like kids too. That's why I take them on. I think what you do is pretty great. Part of me loves kids. Another part of me loves you." Some were long-dead skeletons, dry and dusty, grinning skull to skull; some were mummified by the keen wind, eyes sunk in perpetual bewilderment; and some were rotten and new, astonishingly, quite new. I stood, like a drunken man, and mutteredMnarra. ... The Welchel Works offered me... Benedict was saying. Through certain purely mathematicalmechanisms and special psychological training, selected scientists (the term “mathenaut” came later, slang from the faddy “astronautics”) could be shifted into the abstract. Into Hs brain, seemingly clarified by hunger and exhaustion and much emotion, flashed an unspeakable suspicion, one that he could never prove or disprove, having too little knowledge and experience, too little overall view. No one had ever seen the Enemy. No one knew how or when the War had begun. Information and communication were paralysingly difficult up here. No one knew what really happened to Time as one came close to the Frontier, or beyond it. Could it be that the conceleration there became infinite and that there was nothing beyond the Frontier? Could all the supposed missiles of the Enemy be their own, somehow returning? Perhaps the war had started with a peasant explorer lightheartedly flinging a stone northwards, which returned and struck him? Perhaps there was, then, no Enemy? Whore you? asked Josey. My dad don’t like fellers snooping around. What’s your name? Maybe you better get out; he’s got a gun andbelieve me he can use it. What’s that stuff you’re wearing? Looks like it was your skin, only blue, not something sewed at all. I can sew real good myself; it relaxes me, so I’ll probably never be a delinquent. You’re not deaf and dumb, are you, Mister? There’s a man in Henryton’s deaf, dumband blind. People buy pencils from him and drop pennies and nickels in his hat. Say, why don’t you say something? My dad’ll sure run you off. That’s a funny kind of humming. Can you whistle? There’s a piece they got a record of in school—I can whistle the whole thing. It’s calledFlight of the Bumblebee. Want to hear me? Like this... Gee, you don’t need to look so miserable. I guess you just don’t like music. That’s too bad. I thought when you were humming like that—the way you are now too, and I think it sounds real nice even if you don’t like my whistle—you must like music. All us Maxills do. My Dad can play the fiddle betterthan anybody....”.
