Either could happen, theoretically, so why would they change it?

Have a great day!

  For the 1980s editions of the Foundation Trilogy Asimov made a
number of little changes, apparently to remove things he felt just too
pulpish to let stand. One can argue whether an atomic plant exploding
is more purple than one melting down; the line that gets a number of
folks upset is Salvor Hardin no longer says ``if you ask me, the Galaxy
is going to pot!'' Now he just says if you ask him, the Galactic Empire
is dying.

  There are other little changes; I don't know that anybody's
made a change list. The only other one I remember is oddly removing
the Dinner on Rossum over in the Search By The Mule. It all seems
like fixing things that aren't broken.

Where did you find 'em? I checked amazon.com and didn't see them there
yet...unless I missed them.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I saw them at the Barnes & Noble near Georgia Tech, but they are on
Bantam's website
