	I stand corrected.  Anyone with enough strength could see what
he wanted in the palantir.       (strength of will, that is)

	------------------

	Regarding Heinlein, I have only read one of his books --
Number of the Beast.  I was mystified by it, to say the least,
especially the ending.  In general, I love the idea of
intergalactic/universal/dimensional travel, but I thought a lot of the
good in the book was lost amidst the personalities of the characters
and the computer.  Shucks -- they didn't even start traveling until
1/3 of the book was over!
