Cool, thanks - very helpful to know that.

I think I have a little homework to do before I decide. It turns out I 
have four of Leinster's collections: The Best of Murray Leinster 
(Ballantine/Del Rey), Med Ship, Planets of Adventure, and A Logic Named 
Joe. At first glance, it looks like there are lot of stories in First 
Contacts that aren't in these four,  but I want to look more closely.
