Lines: 16 From: "Morris M. Keesan" The story about the captured prisoner who confuses his alien captors by pretending to have an invisible companion is "The Space Willies". It was indeed part of an Ace double. I think it was by Murray Leinster, although Eric Frank Russell's name sticks in my head -- he may have written the other half of the double. I have a nagging feeling that "The Space Willies" was also published under another title, perhaps something like "The X Factor", and I'm not sure which title was used for the Ace double. As usual, I'm doing this from memory, since I'm here in my office and the collection is at home. --Morris keesan@bbn-unix.ARPA ihnp4!bbncca!keesan "Amash, faplap!"
