If
Harlan
could
have
found
the
heart
for
it
,
he
would
have
smiled
at
that
point
.
)
Feruque
brooded
a
few
moments
,
and
then
burst
out
,
"
What
most
people
don
’
t
understand
is
that
anti
-
cancer
serum
isn
’
t
a
matter
of
tree
seedlings
or
field
motors
.
I
know
that
every
sprig
of
spruce
has
to
be
watched
for
adverse
effects
on
Reality
,
but
anti
-
cancer
always
involves
a
human
life
and
that
’
s
a
hundred
times
as
complicated
.
"
Consider
!
Think
how
many
people
a
year
die
of
cancer
in
each
Century
that
doesn
’
t
have
anti
-
cancer
serums
of
one
sort
or
another
.
You
can
imagine
how
many
of
the
patients
want
to
die
.
So
the
Timer
governments
in
every
Century
are
forever
forwarding
applications
to
Eternity
to
’
please
,
pretty
please
ship
them
seventy
-
five
thousand
ampules
of
serum
on
behalf
of
the
men
critically
stricken
who
are
absolutely
vital
to
the
cultures
,
enclosed
see
biographical
data
.
’
"
Voy
nodded
rapidly
,
"
I
know
.
I
know
.
"
But
Feruque
was
not
to
be
denied
his
bitterness
.
"
So
you
read
the
biographical
data
and
it
’
s
every
man
a
hero
.
Every
man
an
insupportable
loss
to
his
world
.
So
you
work
it
through
.
You
see
what
would
happen
to
Reality
if
each
man
lived
,
and
for
Time
’
s
sake
,
if
different
combinations
of
men
lived
.
"
In
the
last
month
,
I
’
ve
done
572
cancer
requests
.
Seventeen
,
count
them
,
seventeen
Life
-
Plots
came
out
to
involve
no
undesirable
Reality
Changes
.
Mind
you
,
there
wasn
’
t
one
case
of
a
possible
desirable
Reality
Change
,
but
the
Council
says
neutral
cases
get
the
serum
.
Humanity
,
you
know
.
So
exactly
seventeen
people
in
assorted
Centuries
get
cured
this
month
.
"
And
what
happens
?
Are
the
Centuries
happy
?
Not
on
your
life
.
One
man
gets
cured
and
a
dozen
,
same
country
,
same
Time
,
don
’
t
.
Everyone
says
,
Why
that
one
?
Maybe
the
guys
we
didn
’
t
treat
are
better
characters
,
maybe
they
’
re
rosy
-
cheeked
philanthropists
beloved
by
all
,
while
the
one
man
we
cure
kicks
his
aged
mother
all
around
the
block
whenever
he
can
spare
the
time
from
beating
his
kids
.
They
don
’
t
know
about
Reality
Changes
and
we
can
’
t
tell
them
.
"
We
’
re
just
making
trouble
for
ourselves
,
Voy
,
unless
the
Allwhen
Council
decides
to
screen
all
applications
and
approve
only
those
which
result
in
a
desirable
Reality
Change
.
That
’
s
all
.
Either
curing
them
does
some
good
for
humanity
,
or
else
it
’
s
out
.
Never
mind
this
business
of
saying
:
’
Well
,
it
does
no
harm
.
