Hah I wouldn't mind seeing that exchange. I wonder whatever happened to Robert Shea... He was listed as co-author of IT but I don't remember anything else from him... RAW, otoh, was prodigious in his output.

As a kid first reading and rereading the trilogy I always wished I had a golden submarine packed to the gills with high quality reefer, electronics, and friends. My own little under water commune.... Like Hagbard and ELF ;)
