Bloch!  That's right; I had the wrong Robert.  :)

I remember reading it in that Hugo Winners collection years ago. 
Thanks for the reminder.  Great series (as well as the Nebulas), so I 
may have to go back and pick that one up too.

>Ellison's "The Cheese Stands Alone" is a great one, too.

Heh!  Harlan can get a bit self-indulgent (hey, I can say that; he's 
still one of my all-time favorite authors ;).  But this story is from 
my favorite time period, collected in "Stalking the Nightmare". 
IMNSHO, this collection personifies what one friend of mine once said 
about Ellison: "He may have his ups and downs, but when Harlan finds 
a shard of truth he's not afraid to cut you with it".
