Harlan Ellison-gets my vote for the best title of all time.."repent Harlequein, said the Tick Tock man!"

and who was it who wrote the brilliant short story "Surface Tension"..James Blish? I can't remember !
Yep. Pretty certain that that was indeed James Blish. What a great yarn, how could I have forgotten him?
My favourite Ellison title would have to be "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" - chilling!
That quote from Heinlein - Specialization is for insects - is an absolute classic! It's been my personal mantra ever since I read it all those years ago.
