- #504 re the Algine story by Adrian Hurt
Is that story gospel? In which book is it? I've got both FIFTH FRONTIER WAR and "The Spinward Marches Campaign" and don't remember that from either item. Maybe my memory's gone kerflooey; if Adrian's right and I'm wrong, then please accept my version of the story as the one that is considered common ex post facto public knowledge in the postwar years. (The trip to Algine was of course never mentioned to the media, so the assassination attempt was the most palatable alternative story, and the one that the news services ran as details of the case were allowed to come to light.) At any rate, Adrian's story agrees with mine in one fundamental area: Norris is used to getting things done, regardless of whether he has to step beyond the bounds of propriety. We should be glad that he's a more moral, decent guy than Lucan.... glip, metlay
