Summary

Murray Leinster, known for his wacky imagination and outrageous plots, presents us with an anti-hero Bud Gregory, who wants just to be left alone to fish and sleep. The problem is that he is the only person with the ability to 'fix' anything, to see atoms intuitively and know what works and doesn't work. And thus is the only person who can solve horrible situations with runaway atomic piles and insidious plots to kill everyone in America. You know, just everyday events. The second story, The Alien asks the question: When two intelligent races meet, must they automatically attempt to destroy each other? The answer is that is sure looks like that is the way it usually happens. Humans are expanding through our galaxy and can see signs of another Alien race doing the same thing. War is inevitable. But perhaps the inevitable can be avoided?
