Did he lose more than his arm to the beast?

I never understod why, other than costume variation. -j. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

No. LL did lose more than we all knew, which was why she was perfectly willing to settle for the Proty substitute. Anything else? Dan

I bet channelling thousands of volts through your body without proper training makes it very easy to have "accidents." A trusty pair of royal blue Space-Depends are essential!

Joined: May 2004 Posts: 3,331 Newburgh, NY Silicon, if you can't find the originals, go for the Archives. I'd have to check through mine to pick out which edition has the Super-Moby Dick of Space in it. I can assure you that a lot of those early stories were fun to read, even if they weren't big on characterization. Dan
