We fed them not more than an hour ago, Reese said, with a glance at his watch.

But now—because of you—I knowwhy it is right.” Your affair with Amity Wellman, to begin with. The huge creature came now to Involute, or as near as it cared to get. Again it began to crop at thistles, thrusting its nose through dewy spiders webs and ground mist. Well, dont, Casey said curtly. from Fantasy and Science Fiction The music, he realized, was becoming louder. It was now accompanied by other sounds—the crashing of displaced undergrowth, a muffled thunder that could have been the tread of heavy feet. He felt the ground vibrate beneath him, a gigantic pulse-beat that was, he was suddenly and sickly aware, in rhythmic sympathy with the performance, matching perfectly the churning swing of guitar, bass and drums. Yes. Draw some into your lungs, hold it there, and exhale. I had no difficulty in locating the needles and pins, and was much pleased with them. Today they make needles and pins exactly as they did when I was a boy. It is satisfying to find an old-fashioned product still manufactured in the old-fashioned way, containing no plastic. As you know, I detest technological advance. The sight of Park Avenue, lined with those hideous steel and glass buildings, brings tears to my eyes.

But it would be tedious to describe the manner in which thiotimoline, so to speak, refused to be fooled. Suffice it that we did not have one true case ofHeisenberg failure. Nor is it only in fiction that Time is the big upcoming topic. The same themes are burgeoning in a slightly different area. A four-day Interdisciplinary Conference on Perspectives of Time, conducted by the New York Academy of Sciences, included panels onConcepts of Time; “The Fabric of Biological Time”; “Man, the Timed, and Man, the Timer”} “Experiential Aspects of Time.” An impressive anthology of discussions called Voices ofTime was published about the same time by Braziller.
