AUGUST, 1939 1 ! REAL Thing Karl D ETZ E R looked across the table at Bingo JOECole's hand, holding his Scotch- and-soda. Bingo's hand was steady. The guy had nerve, Joe must admit. Here he sat in the Brown Derby, talking about horses at Santa Anita, lapping up highballs, one-two-three, as if nothing was going to happen But what was going to happen? Joe shifted uneasily. He was a light, youngish man with pale eye- brows that looked yellow against his brown skin. He fancied that he resembled Jimmy Cagney and so made a habit of hunching one shoulder and speaking fast from the side of his mouth. The difference, he often told himself, was that Cagney just acted. His stuff wasn't the real thing, like this business to- night. Truth sure was stranger than the movies! Why, he'd never even heard of Bingo Cole till last week when Bingo hailed his taxicab on Hollywood Boulevard and they'd started talking, the way guys do. "Listen, kid," Bingo had said as he got out. "I like your style. Maybe we can fix up a deal." "Okay, boss," Joe had answered from the side of his mouth. That's how it began. Now Joe sat wait- ing. He glanced at the front door, then at his wrist watch. Ten o'clock. Bingo said Katie Joy would be in around ten. Said she usually came in for one drink and a sandwich, then went home to San Fernando Valley. That's where they'd pull the job, just as she reached her door. Provided, of course, she wore the neck- lace. Behind her waddled a fat Bingo had planned everything. Joe man with a shiny bald head didn't even know where Katie Joy lived, never had seen her off the screen. He'd left it all to Bingo. Bingo was an old The AMERICAN LEGION Magazine Fran k Stre et worth a hundred grand, Bingo said. Get fifty for it tomorrow. Fifty, split two ways. Easy. "Fat guy's Looie Gunzler, her pro- ducer," Bingo whispered. "She's goin' to marry him, maybe, after her di- vorce." Joe stared. She certainly didn't look the way Katie Joy did on the screen. Wasn't pretty, like Katie. He said so. "A lot of them aren't," Bingo an- swered. "Besides, it's her dark glasses." "Oh!" Joe's breath caught. She had dropped her wrap and the necklace, looped about her throat, tossed back the lights. "Did you bring the cash?" Bingo asked. "Sure," Joe kept his eyes on Katie.

This basic instinct is central to our daily life. to coordinate business and exchange experiences. The political machinery is Only external constraints can limit the greedy desire to bring more territory more viscous, and we may have to wait a couple more generations to see a under control. With the encouragement of Andrew Marshall, we thought it global empire. might be instructive to dig into the mechanisms of territoriality and their role The fact that the growth of an empire follows a single logistic equation in human history and the future. for hundreds of years suggests that the whole process is under the control In this report, we analyze twenty extreme examples of territoriality, of automatic mechanisms, much more than the whims of Genghis Khan namely empires.

    DELENDA EST... Poul Anderson http://www.librodot.com Librodot Delenda est… Poul Anderson 1 La caza es buena en Europa hace veinte mil años, y los deportes de invierno, insuperables en ninguna otra edad. Por eso la Patrulla cuidadora del mejor adiestramiento de su personal mantiene una residencia en el Pirineo Pleistoceno. Manse Everard, ante una ventana acristalada, contempla las perspectivas de hielo azul de las vertientes boreales en las que las montañas se convertían en bosques, pantanos y tundra. Su voluminoso cuerpo estaba envuelto en unos pantalones de color verde y túnica de insulsinta, del siglo XXIII; botas hechas a mano por un franco- canadiense del siglo XIX; fumaba una apestosa y vieja pipa de época indeterminada. Sentía una vaga inquietud e ignoraba el ruido del interior, donde media docena de agentes bebían, charlaban y tocaban el piano. Un guía del período de Cro-Magnon se acercaba, cruzando el patio cubierto de nieve; era alto, hermoso, y vestía un poco a lo esquimal (¿por qué la novela nunca concedió al hombre paleolítico el suficiente sentido para vestir chaquetón, pantalón y calzado en el período glacial?), la cara pintada, al cinto uno de los cuchillos de acero que le habían prestado. La Patrulla podía actuar con entera libertad en aquel remotísimo tiempo; no había peligro en alterar el pasado, pues el metal se enmohecía y los extraños serian olvidados en pocos siglos. El mayor inconveniente era que los agentes femeninos, de períodos posteriores y más libertinos, siempre tenían jaleos con los cazadores primitivos. Piet Van Sarawak (un flamenco-indonesio-venusiano del 24 d.
