Penetrating the past

Memory can be a very selective thing. One of my correspondents has been reading a collection of short stories, which he penned as the 20th century moved into the 21st.
    He’s finding that he can remember some of the episodes of Babylon 5, now showing on the Legend channel during the week and which pre-dates his book by about 5 years. But he has found he could remember only the longest of his own book; mainly because he reworked the novel-length story as a stand-alone member of his Personal Publishing Programme nearly 20 years ago.
