It's a curious note that the Minneappolis (sp?) ordinance bans
a number of SF books.  For starters, it bans anything that I know
of (I don't claim much expertise) by John Norman.  That's not
surprising.  It's also clear that it bans "Silverlock", and
"The Moon's Fire-Eating Daughter" by John Myers Myers (which
are hardly pornography), many PK Dick stories, quite a few
Ron Goulart stories (so what?), and so many more that I'm not
going to keep going.

I wonder what will happen when someone gets their nose out
of joint at the local B. Daltons and decides to have them arrested for
selling "Silverlock".  It should be interesting.

Sigh.
