I also agree that his earlier work was much better; we weren't required to repeatedly share the slow and delayed adolescence of some feeble-minded person going through thier pimply period in public. "SOS THE ROPE", origionaly serialized in F&SF, won him his first hugo, and I gree that he hasn't done anything to match "MACROSCOPE." One keeps hoping, though. -C.Thomas Weinbaum von Waldenhal
