Skip Travels

The Byworlder, III.

Despite having just begun a casual relationship with Urania, Skip:

"...burned to be off with the word that had come to him..." (p. 22)

This word must be important although we still do not know what it is. He burns to convey it to:

"...the President of the United States or the High Commissioner of the Peace Authority..." (ibid.)

- or someone like that. We are learning more about this future world state of affairs by subtler means than Urania's list of "income guarantee" etc in Chapter I. Skip is about to travel so we will learn more about the world as he travels through it although not tonight as I sometimes say. The first thing that Skip does is to phone data service and enquire about Keeper caravans...
