ld now be carefully selected and treated!

He grinned faintly, as he realized that they didn't know yet just how
important he was. He wasn't going to be a National Resource--he'd be a
World Resource. This power was too great for any local political use,
and no man who had it along with the full correlation of his conscious
and subconscious mind could ever see it any other way.

But right now, he had other pressing business. He grinned at Ellen.
"You don't mind a small wedding, do you?" he asked.

She shook her head, beginning to smile. He reached for her hand. This
psi factor was going to be a handy thing to have around, with its
complete control of space and time.

"I'm taking a two-week honeymoon before we talk business," he told the
approaching three men. "But don't go away. We'll be back in ten
minutes!"

Honolulu looked lovely in the moonlight, and June was the perfect
month for a wedding.

EDITORIAL NOTE: Actually, _Pursuit_ ends where the real
story is just beginning! Disregarding other powers, when men
can move instantly over any distance by simple desire, it's
the beginning of a life and culture totally unrelated to
anything we know. What will it be like? Where should houses
be built--and will they be built? A housewife can have her
dining-room in the mountains and her kitchen in a community
(to simplify and cheapen plumbing, etc.) 10,000 miles away,
or on another planet! There can be no national boundaries,
of course. What happens to the multiplicity of languages?
What happens to government? How do you catch a criminal? How
do you hold him?

There are endless possibilities, naturally. We're tossing it
open to the readers. You tell us what you think that world
will be like--if you can! We'll print the best letters--and
if the authors want to use this background, we'll buy the
best stories based on it.

We will not be responsible for mental break-downs, however!
