Exploring tomorrow! And now here is your guide to these adventures of the mind, John Campbell. The term genius is very common in our language today. I wonder how many of you realize that the term originated with the old Arabian Nights concept of the genie.

I'm doing the Excellency Marshal Gorham. The ship is now in orbit about the planet of destination. Good. Good. I have a lifeboat prepared for descent with an invisibility screen. Yes, Your Excellency. How many crewmen will you want to take along?

None. Have we just myself and you, Professor Hyam? Sir, you, the Marshal, landing on a barbarian world, or that even an escort, and taking a pardon, sir.
