    Re:   Help finding a title

    Can anyone remember a book of short stories, at least 20 years old,
    containing "The Lady Who Sailed the Soul"?  About a man who sailed a
    space ship powered by solar power, and aged 40 years in the transit.
    The ship carried people in suspended animation to a new planet light
    years away.  So, the guy who ran the ship aged 40 years while his
    passengers did not.  Anyway, he met this woman who fell in love with
    him, so she sailed on one of these ships back to the original
    destination so that they would be the same age, and this would
    overcome his scruples toward their relationship.  That's a pretty
    lousy explanation of a wonderfully romantic story, but I hope it
    sounds familiar?

    The lead story and the book title were the same and had something to
    do with drug expanded consciousness -- MindBender? MindBreaker?
    Something like that.  Any clues?  THANKS!!!!


I believe this is by C.M. Kornbluth, from (sic) The Best Of C.M.
Kornbluth.
