Kaor, Paul!

Apologies for making a fuss, but "Day of Burning" was first pub. as "Supernova" in the January 1967 issue of ANALOG. Which means that story was most likely written in 1966.

Sean,

But I know that "Supernova" was published in 1967.

I see what you mean. "1976" was a slip-of-the-pen for "1967," as its position in the list shows.

Paul.

Kaor, Paul!

I've made too many finger slips like that as well!

Ad astra! Sean
