ADAM ROBERTS delivered the second annual Tolkien Lecture at Pembroke College, Oxford, on 2 May. His strategy: "I shall lecture with my serious professor hat on for 45 minutes; and switch to a jester's coxcomb for the last quarter hour ..." ("Excellent talk"—John Clute.)
These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Ansible! (Posted Late Edition)
No, Dave Langford did not post Ansible late. I did! For shame, for shame. Take a look for all the latest news (as well as a whole lot of links). Oh, and look: eBook editions of the Algis Budrys review collections that Dave Langford brought into print (excellent stuff, buy and support future Ansibles!).
