[_Without stressing the technological aspects of the strange
powers of the widely-talented ones--the psis, espers, telepaths which
have been so painstakingly forecast by Stapledon, van Vogt, Weinbaum,
Vance and others--Messieurs Peterson and Staub have whipped fantasy,
forecasts and facts into a stirring and mentally titillating story of
a too-imaginative mind._]

the psilent partner

by ... Edward S. Staub and John Victor Peterson

A pstrange probing mind that crossed pstate lines, the
pseas, even high in the psky--to bring psomething new to
Wall Pstreet.

_He had never cast his consciousness so far before. It floated high
above New York, perceiving in the noonday sky the thin, faint crescent
of a waning moon. He wondered if one day he might cast his mind even
to the moon, knew with a mounting exultation that his powers were
already great enough._

_Yet he was as afraid to launch it on that awesome transit as he still
was to send it delving into the tight subway tunnels in the rock of
Manhattan. Phobias were too real now. Perhaps it would be different
later...._

_He was young, as a man, younger as a recognized developing psi. As
his consciousness floated there above the bustling city, exultant,
free, it sensed that back where his body lay a bell was ringing. And
the bell meant it--his consciousness--must return now to that
body...._
