Scene, 1300 hours, Pilum conference room. EiC is a bit in the bag, I think. You can smell it in the air. It goes like this:
"How short?" he.
"Under 50 percent. Under half way," I.
"We didn't make it even half way?!"
"I guess I'll make an announcement."
"The hell you will! We've got SEVENTEEN HOURS to break even. Damn it, THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE!"
"What do you mean? Is that a metaphor?"
"I don't care if we don't earn out. Anthologies like this one? There's nothing like them. We'll do it anyway! THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE!"
"You've always just wanted to yell that. That thing about the kid. Am I the kid?"
"Son, I'm from Bridgeport, Connecticut. In Bridgeport we work with BOTH HANDS."
Please help me. Please help us!

First, much has been made of Amazon’s decision to present Galadriel as a committed warrior, a leader of men in battle. Defenders of the decision invariably proffer Éowyn as a sort of precedent. But too often they conflate Jackson’s Éowyn with Tolkien’s. Jackson’s Éowyn is a noblewoman who takes up arms in reaction to her lack of agency amid the war threatening to topple the House of Eorl. Tolkien’s Éowyn does the same, but Tolkien makes it very clear that she was wrong to do so. In Jackson’s version, Éowyn disproves the doubters by heroically slaying the Witch King of Angmar. In Tolkien’s version, Éowyn’s spirit, while noble, leads her to act wrongly in response to her despair. By divine grace the day is redeemed nonetheless, but Eowyn herself sees the folly in her actions and repudiates them.
Therefore, for the sake of this article, the Golden Age instead will refer to the time when the first generation of Astounding writers–Henry Kuttner, van Vogt, Asimov, and Heinlein–were initially active, from 1939-1955.
So much revisionism requires so much energy one wonders "Why bother?" But, also, why let revisionism win? Where in the heck does P.D. get his tips?
