Polisotechnic League/Nicholas van Rijn

Mitchell Schwartz recently indicated that the Polisotechnic League and
Nichholas van Rijn stories were written by Piers Anthony.  In fact, Poul
Anderson wrote them.  Anderson's work obviously inspired the creators of
Traveller (see especially the books about Dominic Flandry--Ensign Flandry,
Captain Flandry, etc.).  I think we as referees can be inspired by his
writing today, no matter background we're using.
