- comment:
- note that alt0 is as long as it is because i wanted to use an attributed quote (without eliding any qualifications) to avoid the issues we generally encounter with hooks stating that the featured subject was the first to do something.also, personally, i think alt0 is more interesting than alt1, but am offering alt1 in case alt0 is considered too specialist. alt1 is admittedly probably not that interesting to people aware of the retro hugo awards.
