Two Tributes

The Game Of Empire, CHAPTER ONE.

The Jerusalem Catholic Galilean Order maintains a university in Port Campbell on Woden. Although I have mentioned Port Campbell before (see Woden), I did not allude to the fact that its name is an obvious tribute. See John W. Campbell.

Thus, in Poul Anderson's Technic History, one Wodenite, Adzel, studies at the Clement Institute whereas another, Axor, studies in Port Campbell.

And I have a feeling that there is a third such tribute somewhere about.

Kaor, Paul!


I only wish I had thought of John Campbell and Hal Clement when I saw those names in Anderson's stories.

Ad astra! Sean
