People have long feared invasion by forces from other worlds. If that horror comes to pass our leaders will stand as our first line of defense unless, of course, our leaders themselves... are the invaders.

Deep beyond the kindest, gentlest soul may lurk violent thoughts, deadly wishes. Someday Man will learn to cope with the monsters of the mind. Then, and only then, when the human mind is truly in control of itself, can we begin to utilize the great and hidden powers of the universe.

A weapon? No, only an instrument: neither good nor evil until men put it to use. And then like so many of man's inventions it can be used either to save lives or destroy them, to make men sane or to drive them mad, to increase human understanding or to betray it. But it will be men that make the choice. By itself the instrument is nothing until you add the human factor.

A war between worlds has long been dreaded. Throughout recent history, Man, convinced that life on other planets would be as anxious and belligerent as life on his own, has gravely predicted that some dreadful form of combat would inevitably take place between our world and that of someone else.

In dreams, some of us walk the stars. In dreams, some of us ride the whelming brine of space, where every port is a shining one, and none are beyond our reach. Some of us, in dreams, cannot reach beyond the walls of our own little sleep.

Hunger frightens and hurts, and it has many faces, and every man must sometimes face the terror of one of them. Wouldn't it seem that a misery known and understood by all men would lead Man not to deception and murder, but to faith, and hope, and love?

Throughout history, compassionate minds have pondered this dark and disturbing question: what is society to do with those members who are a threat to society, those malcontents and misfits whose behavior undermines and destroys the foundations of civilization? Different ages have found different answers. Misfits have been burned, branded and banished. Today, on this planet Earth, the criminal is incarcerated in humane institutions or he is executed.

Moving through the deep, protected only by a tank of air and a hunting spear, the scientist-explorer descends beyond the San Blas shelf. But all unknown to him, the observer is himself observed. Hidden in the sinuous rills of seaweed, sightless eyes, blind for centuries, stare out of the abyss. The legendary creature of the deeps, sensing through nerve receptors in its skin, becomes aware of the alien invader, man.

The forces of nature will not submit to injustice. No man has the right, nor will the checks and balances of the universe permit him to place his fellows under the harsh yoke of repression. Nor may he again place the forces of nature under the triple yoke of vanity, greed, and ambition. In the words of Shelley, 'here lies your tyrant who would rule the world immortal.

The mind of man has always longed to know what lies beyond the world we live in. Explorers have ventured into the deeps and the heights. Of these explorers some are scientists, some are mystics. Each is driven by a different purpose. The one thing they share in common is a wish to cross the Borderlands that lie beyond the Outer Limits.

There are worlds beyond and worlds within which the explorer must explore, but there here is one power which seems to transcend space and time, life and death. It is a deeply human power which holds us safe and together when all other forces combine to tear us apart — we call it the power of love.

The Conservation of Energy Law — a principle which states that energy can be changed in form but that it cannot be either created or destroyed.

ARIES (Mar 21- Apr 19)Drinking style: Impulsive Aries people like to party and sometimes don'tknow when to call it a night. Their competitive streak makes them proneto closing-time shot contests. They're sloppy, fun drunks, and they getmighty flirty after a coupleof tipples. Getting Aries people drunk is agood way to get what you want out of them, should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not forgotten) by sunrise. They can becounted on to do the same for you -- so long as you haven't gone and done anything really horrible to them last night, you sneaky Gemini.

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)Drinking style: Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow glow rather than a full-on zonk. Since a truly intoxicated Taurus is a one-person stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers,the preference for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite fortunate for the rest of us. This is not to say that the Bull is by any means a teetotaler -- god, no. A squiffy Taurus willget, er, gregarious (full of loudmouth soup, some would say) and is extremely amusing to drag to a karaoke bar when intoxicated.

GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 21)Drinking style: Gemini's can drink without changing their behavior much--they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned that it's justhard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusion, then doing something unbelievable in an extremely advanced stateof intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Gemini's possess the magic abilityto flirt successfully (and uninfuriatingly, which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order different cocktails every round-- repetition is boring -- and may create a theme (like yellow drinks:beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for their own amusement.

CANCER (Jun 22 - Jul 22)Drinking style: Cancer is a comfort drinker -- and an extra wine with dinneror an after-work beer or six can be extra comforting, can't it,Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces, Crabs mustguard against lushery. Cancers are brilliant at ferreting out secret partiesand insinuating themselves on VIP lists -- and, in true Hollywood style,Cancers are never really drunk; instead, they get "tired and emotional"(read: weepy when lubricated). But there's nothing better than swapping stories (and spit) over a few bottles of inky red wine with your favorite Sagittarius. Even your second-favorite Sagittarius will do. The sign also rules
the flavor cranberry, and you'd be adored if you served up a cranberry and Sky
vodka.

LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 22)Drinking style: Leo likes to drink and dance -- they're often fabulous dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their commanding dignity and turning kittenish. Of course, they're quite aware they're darling- Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control. When they get over-refreshed,expect flirting to ensue -- and perhaps not with the one who brought them.But Leo's not the type to break rules even when drunk, so just try to ignoreit (try harder, Cancer) and expect a sheepish (and hung over) Lion to makeit up to you the next day.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 22)Drinking style: Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order on to their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking lessthan other signs, sure -- but it could also lead to drinking booze neat,to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely getfully shellacked -- but, oh, when they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect,but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friendused to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a
