I remember once reading a short story about a time traveler who goes back to check out the dinosaurs. All he does is step out of his machine, look around then get back in, but doing so he accidentally kills a butterfly. When he gets back to the "present" things are radically different. (Of course the farther back one goes, the more drastic the effects of the visit.) Does anyone remember this story, and the author/title? Thanks. -- Joe Arceneaux Lafayette, LA {akgua, ut-sally}!usl!jla
