There's one online site that I know of where, if you can name the story, it can find all the anthologies it was included in. (And yes, Marian, that is a word.) Just can't name the site. Old age, mixed with two days without sleep. maidmarian_thepoet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If you can't find them online, try the library. Most of these stories have been anthologized (is that a word?) quite often. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > all sound like good stories, good old school scifi. I'll need to look them up. wonder if they're available

thanks for the summaries. As for Mike Vick, what he did was horrible, no doubt. But I have long been amazed at how so many people spend more time fighting for animal rights than humans'. Dogs and cats are absolutley deserving of humane treatment. But (some) people want to penalize Vick as if he

I enjoyed "Jerry Was a Man" best. I don't know if its wry tone matched the original story. It was the story of a wealthy couple who set out to purpose a bio-engineered flying horse in order to outshine their neighbor who has another bio-eng animal. The company owner/engineer talks them into

"Fondly Fahrenheit" is about a labor robot that begins killing people when the temperature is too high. Its owner, who makes his living on the sweat of the 'bot's brow, tries to cover up the crimes and fix the thing on his own. His repair work keeps the bot from killing in warm temps, but when t
