      the Golden Rule would make a terrible weapon!

      ILLUSTRATED BY LEO SUMMERS

      enesee felt excitement surge like a living tide about him as he came with the other directors into the vast Tribunal Hall. Sixty years ago, inexcusable carelessness had deprived Earth of its first chance to obtain a true interstellar drive.
