The plausibility of this bond has as much to do with the artist Dan Burr's sensitive and realistic portrayal of the characters as much as Vance's sharp writing.

Bush issued a defiant defense of his Pentagon boss--if not the larger enterprise itself--from Camp David, where he went to spend Easter: "Secretary Rumsfeld's energetic and steady leadership is exactly what is needed...
...Horowitz. But he said that aliens might use optical messages. Radiation at frequencies that fall into visible-light segment of the electromagnetic spectrum is easy to generate and detect, moves through the space fairly easily, and can encode large amounts of information, Horowitz said. Betts said astronomers had been ill-equipped to receive such a signal until the installation of the new telescope Tuesday, which can detect a billionth-of-a-second flash of light. “There have been small targeted searches, but with this setup...they’ll be able to cover the whole sky, increasing...
