Science Fiction Is A Dialogue, A Tennis Match, In Which The Idea Is Volleyed From One Side Of The Net To The Other. Ridiculous To Say That Someone 'stole' An Idea: No, No, A Thousand Times No. The Point Is The Volley, And How It's Carried, And What Statement Is Made By The Answering 'statement.' In Other Words If Burroughs Initiates A Time-gate And Says It Works Randomly, And Then Norton Has Time Gates Confounded With The Perilous Seat, The Siege Perilous Of The Round Table, And Locates It In A Bar On A Rainy Night Do You See Both The Humor And The Volley In The Tennis Match?
