Lines: 12 From: KurtThe other book that comes to mind by Marshak and Culbreath is 'The Prometheus Design'. Interesting book, by the way, dealing with questions of whether self-destruction can ever be avoided by any sentient race. The question is based on the so-called 'Hell's Kitchen' experiments (overcrowding rats), which showed that aberrant behavior may in some way be related to population density. I didn't find it to be anywhere near the caliber of the Phoenix books, but enjoyable nonetheless. Kurt
