There, half a dozen humanoid creatures with wall eyes, metallic skin, rudimentary mouths and a grasp of English led them aboard a spacecraft and inspected the captives separately. Barney's removable dentures mystified his examiners; so did the dissimilarity between his skin and his wife's-he is a Negro; she.is white...
