The best heinlein novels. cordwainer smith. the best judith merril stories. damon knight. davidson. budrys. Zenna Henderson. fritz leiber. chad oliver. jack finney. richard matheson. fredric brown. charles beaumont. edgar pangborn. mark clifton. idris seab . . . no, you've got her covered already! My question is, does "what do we think of them now?" imply that they were particularly hot back then? 'cause, although he wrote many groovy short stories in the fifties, no way was dick a big name like the others. on thost grounds, the slot occupied by dick's name should include bester, leiber, or bradbury.

I've just downloaded the programme for the Worldcon from the website today, and am faintly despair of some of the premises operating.

Hard to read when I'm cranky. Though I'm still appalled by the forgetting of Bester who writes the pants off everyone else on that list. The complete absence of female names I have sadly come to expect. Yes, let's do a panel on St Clair next year. I adore her. Oh I missed that. Hard to read when I’m cranky.

Miller and Poul Anderson", they meant Theodore Sturgeon. Unless they meant some guy I've never heard of named Sturgeon who played some lame sport like cricket or something like that. I think next year's Wiscon should have a panel on forgotten women writers. Or maybe just one on Margaret St. Clair. I think that when they said “Asimov, Sturgeon, Dick, Farmer, Walter M.
