Comment:	Interesting notes: Mildred Ames, the best friend of Corliss, is also the name of the author of an excellent sci-fi book for teens, "Anna To The Infinite Power". The pages for the first story are in the correct order, however, the fifth page has a 6 in the bottom right corner and the sixth page has a 5. I can't explain why. I love the old fashioned slang such as "ninfant".
