Review
This is a powerful story by Ellison. It almost reads like a Star Trek episode, but really goes a lot farther and digs into the psychic contest of opposing viewpoints, symbolizing the contest of wills with dream imagery. It makes a point about politics and aboout the human desire to be right and beat those who disagree with you. Recommended.
