- 23815: Cathedral 2
- ... idea of what a cathedral is. I think there are may different themes in this short story. For instance, I think that prejudices is one of the main themes which is shown through the husband s way of react, when he hears that a blind man is coming.

I remembered having read somewhere that the blind did not smoke because, as speculation had it, they couldn t see the smoke they inhaled. Here he gets his first surprise, when he sees that the blind man actually do smoke. Maybe he realises that even though he has read something in a book it ... the fact that he has never known any blind persons it is a matter of course that he feels unsafe.

Nearly neutron-free fusion systems, which require higher temperatures than D-T fusion, might make up a "second generation" of fusion reactors).
