I have copies of both books, and it is very clear that Nature's First
Law is pure plagiarism.  I wish more copies of Raw-Eating were avail-
able so that more people could see for themselves.  What Wolfe and
his buddies did is inexcusable (though not unforgivable) no matter
how old and obscure the plagiarized material.

Does anyone know what ever became of Hovannessian?  (If the answer to
that question can be found in the archives, I apologize, but I've
tried to check and can't get through.)
