Letters : Modest encounter

Published 8 February 1997

From Ross Sargent

Folkestone, Kent

I would like to add a small postscript to Chris Boyce (Letters, 18 January, p
48
) regarding the prior mention of von Neumann space probes in the book
Extraterrestrial Encounters.

Modesty apparently forbade Boyce from mentioning that he was actually the
author of this fascinating book but I am under no such constraint and wish to
give credit where it is due.
