      CANCER WORLD

      By

      Harry Warner, Jr.

      We won the Patagonian trust case, Greg Marson's jubilant tones filled the apartment—the hall in which he stood, the automatic kitchen in the rear, the living quarters, bedroom and nursery in between.

      Dennis smiled vaguely, and began to tinker with his molecule builder. Phyllis gurgled again.

      Greg looked at the remains of the lunch that had hopped automatically from its can at noon, and the lowered reservoir of milk in the baby's feeder. Dora obviously hadn't been there since morning, and she didn't like to trust the babyview service so long. It was Wednesday, and bridge club was Tuesday. They'd subscribed to the telebuying service, so Dora hadn't
