***REPLACE THIS LINE WITH A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE LINE-EATER***
I just bought a copy of "The Faces of Science Fiction".  This is a book of
photographs (taken by Patti Perret) of "eighty-two of the best known science
fiction writers alive today.  Each writer has also contributed a personal
statement".

There are several authors conspicuous by their absence (RAH for one) and a
few I have never heard of.  The photographs are (in my opinion) tasteful
and very nicely done.  The blurbs by the writers vary widely.  Here is part
of what Clifford D. Simak has to say:

For fifty years, as a newspaperman, I sought to write the truth.  In the
beginning I tended to believe there could only be one truth - if all the
facts were pulled together, all opinions weighed, then the truth would
stand revealed.  As time went on I came to know there was no single truth,
but many truths.  Truth was not all black and white; there were many shades
of truth.  Finally knowing this, I continued, as newsmen still do today, to
strike as close to truth as one man might be able.
