Trullion: Alastor 2262, a planet with a collectivist, sort-of-communist government, a huge population, and a crumbling infrastructure -- 'gruff' and 'deedle' are sweet desserts much loved by the population. I think all three of the Alastor novels have been collected in a single volume... [click click click...] Yep, ISBN 0312869525. Classic Jack Vance, and well worth reading. -- Walt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
