The Stars My Destination • p***....@p***.****i.com 20/09/1996 00:00:000 UTC Hey, did anyone catch NPR's "Morning Edition" today? They were talking to Chip Delaney (I may as well call him that; that was what they were using on the air :) ) about the now-back-in-print "The Stars My Destination." Made me want to dig out my old copy and give it another read, or buy a new copy...I think I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed it back then! -- 73 de Dave Weingart KB2CWF "Can you find the Valium? mailto:p***....@****.com Can you bring it soon? mailto:p***....@e******.*********n.edu Lost Johnny's out there http://www.liii.com/~phydeaux Baying at the Moon" -- Hawkwind BY SENDING UNSOLICTED, COMMERCIAL SPAM EMAIL TO THIS ADDRESS, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RECEIVE UP TO 20 MEGABYTES OF RANDOM CORE DUMP INFORMATION. • p*....@m****n.com 24/09/1996 00:00:000 UTC In article <3****....@a****.***.*******.***u.au>, Damien Broderick wrote: riot nrrrd wrote: > Hey, did anyone catch NPR's "Morning Edition" today?

Yes. > They were talking to Chip Delaney Delany. > (I may as well call him that; that was > what they were using on the air :) ) [snip] Delany mentioned that George O. Smith's Venus Equilateral stories were written in "the 40's/early 50's", which is not only inaccurate[*] but also puzzling because Delany should know, if not the exact dates of every series ever published, at least that Smith didn't publish anything in _Astounding_ in the early 50's for personal reasons and VE stories were unlikely to appear anywhere else. A strange braino for someone teaching SF... [*] The main series, started in "Astounding" in 1942, was completed in 1945, first book publication in 1947 with "Mad Holiday" added. The final VE story was published in the John W. Campbell memorial anthology after a quarter-century hiatus. -- Ahasuerus http://www.clark.net/pub/ahasuer/, including: FAQs: rec.arts.sf.written, alt.pulp, the Liaden Universe Biblios: how to write SF, the Wandering Jew • m******.....@g*******.**o.uk 24/09/1996 00:00:000 UTC In article <52478j$*...@c*******.*****k.net>, a**....@c****k.net (Ahasuerus the Wandering Jew) wrote: } p***....@p***.****i.com (riot nrrrd) writes: } > Hey, did anyone catch NPR's "Morning Edition" today? } } Yes. } } > They were talking to Chip Delaney } } Delany. } So.
