Is the scene with Rudesind, the only one in BOTNS in which the irrigation of Lune is discussed? I'd always assumed--I'll admit without much thought on the subject-- that the discu…

You're right. Sorry. That's what I get for talking off the top of my head (boy, I sure had the sequence wrong). By the way, Marc, I think you've had some great insights along th…

I took Horn's statement as a bit of self-deprecating humor on the part of Mr. Wolfe. No doubt as a result of the extensive narrative sections in the latter volumes of Long Sun, Wo…
