<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=2>"Someday they'll want us" is

<DIV>Did you read the novella standalone, as it appears in _Best Of_, or as
part of the collection of three novellas published as _Fifth
Head_?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I read it as part of the collection, but I don't
see what difference it could make. All the action in the other
two linked novellas (as well as all the other action in _Fifth Head_
) takes place before this time.</FONT></DIV>
