I haven't read it in a long time so it might not stand up now but I can sure remember the effect it had on me then. "Scanners" may not be as polished as some other Smith stories but it has a certain raw power that I still feel upon rereading even after the "golden age" (long gone). I seem to remember that Robert Silverberg had some interesting comments on "Scanners" in an anthology of stories all of which were followed by a brief Silverberg essay. Oh, and there's "Think Blue, Count Two" and "The Crime and Glory of Commander Suzdal" and...you get the idea. Ron Crown ---
