Overview: Richmond, Leigh (1911-1995) US author who began publishing with Prologue to an Analogue (June 1961 Analog; 2009 ebook). Her further stories and her several sf novels were mostly written and published in collaboration with her husband, Walt Richmond; three novels were revised by her after his death. Almost all their work together expressed a sense – one formally presented by the Centric Foundation which they founded and directed – that scientific breakthroughs could be made by young minds freed of the bureaucratic artifices of orthodox scientific thinking; unfortunately, overloaded Space-Opera plotting did little to make their novels convincing emblems of this new clarity, and the exaggerated individualism they expressed seemed less mould-breaking than nostalgic. They published frequently in Analog, which also ran the one-off collaboration "There is a Tide" (January 1968 Analog) by Leigh Richmond and R C FitzPatrick.

It could also explain away all the discrepancies of historical theory and show what was thought to be myth was actually the way things were–after the cataclysmic short circuit of a much earlier solar tap by a much earlier race of men.
And the solar tap could also bring to light the terrible dangers that faced today’s humanity–as the remnants of the old race returned to survey their destructive handiwork.
Gallagher’s Glacier
It’s hard to tell whether men make history or history makes men.
One example is Gallagher and his glacier. One might say that he changed history, or one might figure that history would have changed anyway and that he just happened to be in the right spot at the time. I wouldn’t know. But he was a colorful character; history needs its Paul Bunyans.
When men first went into space, mortality was high, but the corporations survived. When men die as independents, that’s that; but when they’re representatives of a corporation, the corporation can replace them with more men, and the corporation stays alive…
