Collected in this volume: "Universe" "Commonsense" Excerpts "In the Beginning there was Jordan, thinking His lonely thoughts alone. In the Beginning there was darkness, formless, dead, and Man unknown. Out of the loneness came a longing, out of the longing came a vision, Out of the dream there came a planning, out of the plan there came decision-- Jordan's hand was lifted and the Ship was born!"
