3 Quotations from Irving E. Cox, Jr.
paradise planet n. | 1957 | Second Chance in Science Fiction Quarterly May 64/2 And now, above the transparent dome, swung the green globe of the new world, the paradise-planet, the destination for the last fragment of mankind.
space pilot n. | 1953 | Instant of Now in Fantastic Universe Aug.βSept. 87/1 When I've passed enough university hours I can take the promotional test and become a full-fledged space-pilot.

She could not phrase her argument in Venusian, because the argument was a structure of symbols which had no specific meaning. Paulaβs comfortably secure universe fell apart.
