A great book, no fooling.  Jesus, how well I remember hanging out in the 
corner drugstore panting with eagerness for the next installment, back 
when it was "Tiger, Tiger", coming out bit by bit in -- was it F&SF?  
Great stuff, even though I did have an awful run-in with Bester many 
years later when he was drunk and stupid and I was brash and furious, on 
a panel at something-con on something or other . . . Ted Sturgeon kept 
trying to make peace, but I think he was high on something.  Wish I'd 
been; I might have been less explosive, and I might have had a real 
conversation with A.B. instead of a head-butting contest.  

Foolish youth, foolish age . . . never mind, we'll meet again sometime 
and do better.
