   The movie wherein an alien ship lands in washigton, leaving a robot
to stand guard, is "The Day the Earth Stood Still". An alright film,
but nowhere near as good as the story it was freely adapted from:
"Farewell to the Master", by Harry Bates. Boy, did I like this one!
It appeared in Astounding, lo these many years ago (1941?), and the author
was, I beleive, ASF's first editor (circa 1930). The ending was
>much< more effective than that in the movie.
   I hope I got all the details of the citation right; it's been a few
years since I read the story.
