Searching my past for the things that I've seen

Chapter Eleven, ``A Prince In Bondage'', reveals that the Hidden City has not been destroyed by Kane's attack.

( And this installment provides the biggest unintended laugh I've had at the serial since the Navy pilots heroically panicked and bailed out of Rogers's zeppelin back in chapter one. It concerns the vilest action Leader Kane has yet taken, and if you think you know what it is, you probably think wrong. )

Trivia: Thomas Watson's introduced his iconic ``THINK'' sign while he was working for National Cash Register; when he left for the Computing-Tabulating-Recording corporation in 1914, he took the icon with him.

Currently Reading: Star Science Fiction Original #4, Editor Frederik Pohl. (Great Original Stories, it says, and one did indeed hit the all-time great lists.) So the introduction is Pohl talking about the looming population bomb and how if we don't do something Soon, ``Malthusian Law is about to be re-enacted'' and what to do? ``That's the kind of question the eight writers in this present volume ... are well equipped to answer.'' I'm not sure how Fritz Leibner's ``Space-Time For Springers'' answers the Malthusian Law problem, however. And even the Kornbluth entry is one that's not about how all those genetically inferior lunkheaded idiots keep out-breeding the smart people (``The Advent On Channel Twelve'', which is more about the perils of The Mickey Mouse Club).
