    Ringworld was a good set of stories but I think “Mote’’ was better. Pournelle was (IMO) the half of the team that made the plot move along. Niven can be a bit slow — and this is coming from someone who not only finished “The Silmarillion” but rereads it periodically. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy his stories but the partnership with Pournelle definitely improved him.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.
