The Goodly Creatures

How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has

Miranda in The Tempest

FARWELL suddenly realized that his fingers had been trembling all morning, with a hair-fine vibration

that he couldn't control. He looked at them in amazement and rested them on the keys of his typewriter.

The tremor stopped and Farwell told himself to ignore it; then it would go away. The copy in the

typewriter said: Kumfyseets—add I in the upper left-hand corner and under it:—hailed by veteran

spacemen as the greatest advance in personal comfort and safety on the spaceways since—

Since what? It was just another pneumatic couch. Why didn't he ever get anything he could work with?

This one begged for pix—a stripped-down model in a Kumfyseet, smiling under a pretended seven-G

takeoff acceleration—but the Chicago Chair Company account didn't have an art budget. No art, and

they were howling for tear-sheets already.

— comfort and safety on the spaceways since—

He could take Worple to a good lunch and get a shirt-tail graf in his lousy "Stubby Says" column and

that should hold Chicago Chair for another week. They wouldn't know the difference between Worple

Farwell's intercom buzzed. "Mr. Henry Schneider to see you about employment."

"Send him in, Grace."

Schneider was a beefy kid with a practiced smile and a heavy handshake. "I saw your ad for a junior

copywriter," he

said, sitting down confidently. He opened an expensive, new-looking briefcase and threw a folder on the

desk.

Farwell leafed through it—the standard presentation. A fact sheet listing journalistic honors in high school

and college, summer jobs on weeklies, "rose to sergeantcy in only ten months during U.M.T. period."

Copies of by-line pieces pasted neatly, without wrinkles, onto heavy pages. A TV scenario for the

college station. A letter from the dean of men, a letter from the dean of the journalism school.
