Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
It’s not clear what the point of this story is, but other than having Campbell work with Rhine (and get a run of impossibly good scores) when they were both at Duke, there’s no speculative element here.

The whole story seems to be a setup for Alec Nevala-Lee's fact article about John W Campbell and his belief in ESP.
ReplyDeleteThat makes more sense. I usually don't have the time to read the non-fiction articles. Thanks!
