HH: "I think this story must speak for itself since it is of the kind where the unfolding is of primary importance. However it can be mentioned that it is one of the stories intended for my matter transmitter collection, and is a suggested solution to a problem that has always bothered civilised man." (Best of Harry Harrison)
