I think the stories in question are the literally "unpublished" ones. The _Ney Yorker_ stories are generally available on microfilm, but there are a few stories that never hit the press. A magazine bought one and never printed it; others were written and...well, not published. Christmas presents to Whit Burnet, maybe. The details are available in Hamilton's biography. Princeton has at least one ("An Ocean of Bowling Balls," I think) secured in a safe somewhere. -------------------------------------------- Matt Kozusko mkozusko@parallel.park.uga.edu
