  ;There have been such cases�察�Lazarus。 But not in the past two centuries。;
  
  ;Well 。 。 my opinion isn't worth anything。 You must discuss it with an expert´and it must be one you can trust。 Ishtar�察�perhaps�察�although she may not be the expert you need。;
  
  ;Lazarus�察�there is no expert in this venture�察�it has never been done。 Ishtar can be trusted�察�I have discussed it with her。;
  
  ;What does she say�拭�
  
  ;That she does not know whether it can be done or not´in practice�察�that is�察�with success on ´the first attempt。 But she is deeply sympathetic´she is a woman� �and is thinking of ways to make it less hazardous。 She says that it will require the finest of gene surgory�察�plus facilities for full´adult cloning。;
  
  ;I guess I missed something。 Starting a clone doesn't take a topflight gene surgeon�察�I've done it myself。 Then�察�if you plant the clone in utero and get it to take�察�a host´mother will hand you a baby in nine months。 Safer。 Easier。;
  
  ;But�察�Lazarus�察�I can't move me into a baby's skull。 No room� �
  
  ;Urn。 Yes。 True。;
  
  ;Even with a full´size adult brain I will have to choose most carefully what to take and what to leave behind。 Nor can I be a simple clone�此�I must be a posite。;
  
  ;Mmm´ I'm not sharp tonight。 No�察�you would not want to be Ishtar's twin�察�for example�察�with your own personality and selected knowledge imprinted on what would have been her brain。 Hm´ Dear�察�may I offer you my twelfth chromosome pair�拭�
  
  ;Lazarus� �
  
  ;Don't cry�察�girl�察�you'll get your gears all rusty。 I don't know that there's anything to the theory that reinforcement in a gene plex in that chromosome pair controls longevity。 Even if it does�察�I might be handing you a run´down clock。 You might be better off using Ira's twelfth。;
  
  ;No。 Nothing from Ira。;
  
  ;Do you expect to do this without his knowing it�拭─�Lazarus then added thoughtfully�察 �Oh´ Children�察�eh�拭�
  
  The puter did not answer。
  
  Lazarus said gently�察 �Should have known you meant to go whole hog。 Then you won't want to borrow from Hamadryad�察�either�察�she's his daughter。 Unless geic charting shows that we can avoid any hazard。 Mmm´Dear�察�you want as mixed a posite as can be managed�察�do you not�拭�So that your clone will be a unique flesh´and´blood�察�not too closely copied from any other zygote。 Twenty´three parents perhaps�拭�Is that what you had in mind�拭�
  
  ;I think that would be best�察�Lazarus�察�since that could be done without separating paired chromosomes´simpler surgery and no possibility of introducing an unexpected reinforcement。 If it were possible to find twenty´three´satisfactory´´donors who were willing。;
  
  ;Who said they had to be willing�拭�We'll steal 'em�察�dear。 Nobody owns his genes�察�he's merely ~their custodian。 They are passed to him willy´nilly in the meiotic dance�察�he passes them along to others through the same blind chances。 There must be many thousands of tissue cultures over at the Clinic�察�each with many thousands of cells´so who's to know or care if we borrow one cell from each of twenty´three cultures�拭�if we're slick about it。 Don't fret about ethics�察�it's like stealing twentythree grains of sand from a large 'beach。
  
  ;I don't give a hoot about the Clinic's rules�察�I suspect that we'll be hip´deep in proscribed techniques all through this。 Hmm´ Those Clinic records you've stored in Dora�此�Do they include geic charting of tissue cultures on hand�拭�Case histories of their donor´consigners�拭�
  
  ;Yes�察�Lazarus。 Although personal records are confidential。;
  
  ;Who cares�拭�Ishtar said you could study both 'confidential'and 'secret'´as long as you kept it to yourself。 So pick the twenty´three parents you want´while I worry about how to steal them。 Stealing is more in my line�察�anyhow。 I don't know what criteria you will use�察�but I offer one mild suggestion�此�If the selection you have to choose from permits it�察�each of your parents should be healthy in all respects and as brainy as possible´by their established records in life as shown by their case histories�察�not alone by their geic charts。; Lazarus thought about it。 ;That mythical time machine I mentioned earlier would be a convenience。 I would like to look over all twenty´three after you pick them´and some of them may be dead。 The donors I mean�察�not the tissue cultures。;
  
  ;Lazarus�察�if other characteristics are satisfactory�察�is there any reason not to select as well for physical appearance�拭�
  
  ;Why worry about it�察�dear�拭�Ira is not the sort of man to insist on Helen of Troy。;
  
  ;No�察�I don't think he is。 But I want to be tall´tall as Ishtar´and slender�察�with small breasts。 And straight�察�brown hair。;
  
  ;Minerva 。 。 why�拭�
  
  ;Because that is the way I look。 You said so。 You did say so� �
  
  Lazarus blinked at the gloom and hummed softly�此 �She's a good sport 。 。 I can spring her 。 。 。for a fin or even a sawbuck;´then said sharply�此 �Minerva�察�you're a crazy�察�mixed´up machine�察�lithe best bination of traits results in your being a short�察�plump blonde with big tits´buy it� �Don't worry about an old man's fantasies。 I'm sorry I mentioned that imaginary description。;
  
  ;But�察�Lazarus�察�I said 'if other characteristics are satisfactory´To get that physical appearance I need search only with respect to three autosome pairs�察�there is no conflict�察�the search is already plete within all parameters we have discussed thus far。 And that is me´is 'F�拭�no�察�me� �I've known it since you told me。 But´from things you have said´and others that you did not say´I feel that I need your permission to look like that。;
  
  The old man lowered his head and covered his face。 Then he looked up。 ;Go ahead�察�dear´look like her。 I mean 'look like yourself。' Like your mind's´eye picture of yourself。 You'll find it hard enough to learn to be flesh´and´blood without the added handicap of not looking the way you feel you ought to look。;
  
  ;Thank you�察�Lazarus。;
  
  ;There will be problems�察�dear�察�even if everything goes well。 For example�察�has it occurred to you that you will have to learn to talk all over again�拭�Even learn to see and to hear�拭�When you move yourself over into your clone body and leave nothing behind but a puter�察�you won't suddenly be an adult。 Instead�察�you'll be a weird sort of baby in an adult body�察�with the world a buzzing confusion around you and totally strange。 You may find it frightening。 I'll be there�察�I promise I will be there and holding your hand。 But you won't know me�察�your new eyes won't abstract a gestalt of me until you learn to use them。 You won't understand a word I say´did you realize that�拭�
  
  ;I do realize it�察�Lazarus。 I did know it�察�I have given it much thought。 Getting into my new body´without destroying the puter that I am now�察�which I must not�察�as Ira will need it and so will Ishtar´making that transition is the most critical phase。 But if I make it�察�I promise you that I will not be frightened by the strangeness。 Because I know that I will��have loving friends around me�察�cherishing me�察�keeping me alive�察�not letting me hurt myself nor be hurt´while I'm learning to be a flesh´and´blood。;
  
  ;That you will have�察�dear。;
  
  ;I know and I am not worried。 So don't you worry�察�beloved Lazarus´don't think of it now。 Why did you say�察�earlier�察�'that mythical time machine'�拭�
  
  ;Eh�拭�How would you describe it�拭�
  
  ;I would describe it as an 'unrealized potential。' But 'mythical' implies impossibility。;
  
  ;Eh�拭�Keep talking� �
  
  及29准
  
  ;Lazarus�察�I learned from Dora�察�when she taught me the mathematics of n´space astrogation�察�that every jump transition involves a decision as to when to reenter the time axis。;
  
  ;Yes�察�certainly。 Since you are cut off from the framework of the speed´of´light you could go as many years astray as there are light´years involved in the jump。 But that's not a time machine。;
  
  ;It isn't�拭�
  
  ;Hmm´ It's a disturbing thought´it feels like intentionally making a bad landing。 I wish Andy Libby were here。 Minerva�察�why didn't you mention this before�拭�
  
  ;Should I have put it into your Zwicky Box�拭�You turned down time travel forward 。 。 and I ruled out time travel into the past because you said you wanted something new。;

  Excerpts from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long
  
  Always��store beer in a dark place。

  By the data to date�察�there is only one animal in the Galaxy dangerous to man´man himself。 So he must supply his own indispensable petition。 He has no enemy to help him。
  
  *
  
  Men are more sentimental than women。 It blurs their thinking。
  
  *
  
  Certainly the game is rigged。 Don't let that stop you�察�if you don't bet�察�you can't win。
  
  *
  
  Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent。
  
  *
  
  Always listen to experts。 They'll tell you what can't be done�察�snd why。 Then do it。
  
  S
  
  Get a shot off fast。 This upsets him long enough to let you make your second shot perfect。
  
  *
  
  There is no conclusive evidence of life after death。 But here is no evidence of any sort against it。 Soon ´enough you will know。 So why fret about it��
  
  *
  
  If it can't be expressed in figures�察�it is not science�察�it is opinion。
  
  It has long been known that one horse can run fister than another´but which one�拭�Differences are crucial。
  
  *
  
  A fake fortueller can be tolerated。 But an authentic soothsayer should be shot on sight。 Cassandra did not get half the kicking around she deserved。
  
  *
  
  Delusions are often functional。 A mother's opinions about her children's beauty�察�intelligence�察�goodness�察�et cetera ad nauseam�察�keep her from drowning them at birth。
  
  *
  
  Most ;scientists; are bottle washers and button sorters。
  
  *
  
  A ;pacifist male; is a contradiction in terms。 Most selfdescribed ;pacifists; are not pacific�察�they simply assume false colors。 When the wind changes�察�they hoist the Jolly Roger。
  
  *
  
  Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman's breasts�察�it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy。
  
  *
  
  A generation which ignores history has no past´and no future。
  
  *
  
  A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits。

  What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it��

  Small change can often be found under seat cushions。
  
  *
  
  History doss not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis。 Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help。 But�察�like dandruff�察�most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it。

  If you don't like yourself�察�you can't like other people。

  Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes。 Keep this in mind�察�it may offer a way to make him your friend。 If not�察�you can kill him without hate´and quickly。

  A motion to adjourn is always in order。

  No state has an inherent right to survive through conscript troops and�察�in the long run�察�no state ever�察�has。 Roman matrons used to say to their sons�此 �e back with your shield�察�or on it。; Later on�察�this custom declined。 So did Rome。

  Of all the strange ;crimes; that human beings have legislated´ out of nothing�察 �blasphemy; is the most amazing´with ;obscenity; and ;indecent exposure; fighting it out for second and third place。

  It is better to copulate than never。

  All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children。 All else is surplusage�察�excrescence�察�adornment�察�luxury�察�or folly which can´and must´be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function。 As racial survival is the only universal morality�察�no other basic is possible。 Attempts to formulate a perfect society on any foundation other than ;Women and children first� ─�is not only witless�察�it is automatically genocidal。 Nevertheless�察�starry´eyed idealists ��all of them male�� have tried endlessly´and no doubt will keep on trying。

  All men are created unequal。

  Money is a powerful aphrodisiac。 But flowers work almost as well。

  A brute kills for pleasure。 A fool kills from hate。

  There is only one way to console a widow。 But remember the risk。

  When the need arises´and it does´you must be able to shoot your own dog。 Don't farm it out´that doesn't make it nicer�察�it makes it worse。

  Everything in excess� �To enjoy the flavor of life�察�take big bites。 Moderation is for monks。
