	washingtonpost.com: Judge Says Generals Can Be Questioned In Abu Ghraib Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		By allowing the interviews, Pohl appeared to signal a willingness to explore what is emerging as the main line of defense for the seven soldiers accused of abusing and humiliating detainees at Abu Ghraib: that the abusive tactics used at the prison were not only condoned by their commanders but were part of their orders.
		Pohl also lashed out at Frederick's civilian attorney, Gary Myers, who sent a request by e-mail to be allowed to take part by telephone, citing the cost of getting to Iraq and the danger of holding the proceeding there.
		Pohl rejected initial requests to move the trials from Iraq, though he said he would reconsider if defense lawyers could show that civilian witnesses -- who cannot be subpoenaed to travel to a court-martial overseas -- would not come voluntarily because of the danger of traveling in and around Iraq.

	Reservist Gets Eight Years for Abu Ghraib Abuse - 10/21/04
		Frederick pleaded guilty Wednesday to taking part in the mistreatment, telling Pohl that he knew his actions were wrong at the time he committed them.
		While Frederick’s plea does not have any direct impact on pending cases, his testimony could be used at future courts-martial, possibly to bolster the argument by attorneys for other charged MPs that military intelligence interrogators encouraged the behavior that resulted in abuses.
		The fact that Frederick was the most senior soldier involved in the abuses and that he accepted responsibility for taking part in them could carry even more weight in the pending cases.

		If Frederick Pohl's conclusions were accurate, Henry departed Guysborough via Canso Strait, and travelled along the Northumberland shore to Pictou.

		Pohl has been about everything that it is possible to be in the field of science fiction, from consecrated fan and struggling poet to critic, literary agent, teacher, book and magazine editor and, above all, writer.

		Vespucci was described as having a "sagacious" (scientific) mind (Pohl 55) and was educated in the areas of commercial science, cosmology, astronomy and geography.
		He created his own method of celestial navigation by which he obtained longitude and came with 50 miles of being correct in his estimation of the earth's circumference one of the closest guesses of that time (Pohl 56).
		Whatever else is said about them, one thing remains outstanding and undeniable; they were bold and courageous explorers, who made remarkable discoveries that have permanently changed the face of the world's geography and in a great part shaped the history of the world that followed after.

		Several of his other objections have also either been completely overcome or moderated: for instance, although costs for a suspension with other groups has skyrocketed to $120,000 or more, suspension at CI costs $28,000 -- and that amount is payable by insurance funding.
		Family funding is also a great deal easier at CI – membership dues for a full family of four comes to no more that $120 per quarter, or about $30 per month.

		Frederick Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth, important sf authors in their own rights (Pohl more for his novels, Kornbluth more for his short stories), are another pair whose collaborations shone.
		Their books from the fifties haven't stood up that well -- satire and social commentary tend not to -- but a Pohl/Kornbluth novel at half strength can still have a good deal of horsepower.
		Pohl and Kornbluth coauthored numerous short stories, as well as seven novels, of which "Gladiator at Law" and "The Space Merchants" were the best.

	The Space Merchants by Frederick Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth
		It doesn't necessarily follow that this story is totally SF cos both authors deemed it more as a satire on the advertising industry where they were making their living at the time and getting thoroughly, for the want of a better word, pissed off by it.
		The fact that both Pohl and Kornbluth are also both superb storytellers enables this book to be taken at any level you want, be it SF, satire or both.
		The fact that you can still spot things done in this book that still applies today is probably a testament that things haven't changed much in the 51 years since it was written.

		Ah, Gateway, the IF that truly got me into the genre, after playing some of the mediocre IF that used to abound, I was ready to leave the genre behind, but, thankfully Fredrick Pohl's Gateway was there to save!
		This game has some of the best graphics in the genre, possibly even some of the best of its time (I wouldn't know, I havn't played most games of its time :-p) and has a minimalist attitude to the scenery that seems to be sadly going out of fashion these days.
		However, as someone who read the original book, and loved it, albeit years ago, the plot of the game didn't seem to follow the trials and tribulations of Pohl's Robin Broadhead at all, except that you are both prospectors who encounter some interesting times at Gateway.

		Prince Henry Sinclair was the subject of historian Frederick J. Pohl's Atlantic Crossings Before Columbus, which was published in 1961.
		Not all historians agreed with Pohl, but he made a highly convincing case that this blond, sea-going Scot, born at Rosslyn Castle near Edinburgh in 1345, not only wandered about mainland Nova Scotia in 1398, but also lived among the Micmacs long enough to be remembered through centuries as the man-god Glooscap...
