One typo, John: ‘Raphael Rick’ should be ‘Rick Raphael’. A writer almost forgotten, mainly known for Code Three (Hugo Nominee 1964) and his Analog short stories from the 1960’s. I was surprised how much I enjoyed them.
Fixed. Thanks, Mark.
Since Mark raised the topic…. “E.K. Jarvis” is a pseudonym used here by Robert Bloch. And Mack Reynolds never signed his name “D.M. Reynolds.” I really appreciate your hard work on this site, John, so I hope you don’t mind me mentioning this.

No problem at all Jerry — thanks for the corrections.
