The only critic I have ever found who knows what I like and don't like is me. I have not read any of those "WHAT'S WRONG WITH SCIENCE FICTION" since Part II (I wasn't on the net for part one) and if you disagree with what the writer writes, don't read it. As for whether a story is ART or a GOOD READ, WHO CARES? If you like it, good, you have just enjoyed a fine story. If you don't, you don't. I wish people would stop taking what "critics" think so seriously. Kenneth Crist Computer Vision Lab University of Maryland
