A word -- this story, the first short piece I ever did for publication and
written when I was still fresh out of the Peace Corps and utterly fed up
with straight-white-boy space colonies, is also found in Pam Sargent's
reprinted collection, WOMEN OF WONDER, Vol. II, The Contemporary Years, out
of Harcourt Brace in their Harvest trade paperback line in '95. Lots of
other great stuff in there, too; price, $15.00 US.
