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! -------
