regime change, apparently for the worse, and that they must accept a new military governor, whose first act is to unreasonably increase their agricultural-export quota. The colonists refuse the order and attempt to offer armed resistance, with the unexpected aid of Baron IV's primitive but helpful alien autochthones, the Dusties, who - they learn - have come to worship them as gods. "The Expert Touch" - a reluctant experimental subject is tricked by his doctor into a painful battle against his inner demons, as part of a scheme to find the key to human sanity; the ordeal leaves him perfectly sane, but also - and perhaps as a consequence - highly unhelpful. "Second Sight" - a young woman is the only true psychic on Earth. She is pressured by her government handlers to take part in an experiment to try to induce her powers in other similarly handicapped people - the ending reveals that she is deaf and blind, all of her senses being entirely psionic. 1963 short story collections Science fiction short story collections
