Summary: "Purple" Pun in F.S.

| Specifically his (the Human character's) translating machine renders
| his name in the lanuguage of the natives of the planet as:
| 
| "as a purple shade of gray"->"as a mauve"->Asimov, nifty pun.

It is also interesting to look at the description that is first given
of "Purple" in the book. Rather descriptive of the Good Doctor I would
say.
