Lines: 23 From: Stabron%xls-plexus01.amc@amc-hq.arpa mike, You are definitely not the only one who liked NotB. I too (and my daughter) could recognize most of the characters at the end. We loved!!! it. Especially me!!! I recognized almost all of the characters too, and the books on their lists were mostly on my favorite list too. Sir IsAAc Newton was a Venerian "dragon" appearing in _Between Planets_. The copy I have is by DelRey Books and was published in 1981. The first publication was in 1951. It is one of the "juvenile" books. (Of course, I still re-read it periodically). Sir Isaac speaks with the aid of a voder/vocoder since he cannot approximate English. He was one of the ones I was most tickled to see again in NotB since I don't think he ever appeared anywhere else. It is terrifficc to find another died-in-the-wool aficianado of RAH. Sue Tabron
