	Katherine MacLean Summary
		MacLean's most productive period was the 1950s, when science fiction was written predominantly by males, for a male audience, about male interests, and when the few women in the field were writing romantic adventure, often using anonymous initials or a male pseudonym to disguise their sex.
		MacLean was awarded the Nebula award for this novella, one of a series about a balkanised New York, where an engineer working for the city's disaster planning section has his inside knowledge exploited to cause disasters.
		Katherine MacLean was a Professional Guest of Honor at the first WisCon in 1977, and she was honored in 2003 by the Science Fiction Writers of America as an SFWA Author Emeritus.

	Campaign for Freedom of Information
		A chief constable has attacked the Maclean Bill as an "almost bizarre proposal." Richard Brunstom chief constable of North Wales Police said "The stated rationale is to protect the confidentiality of MPs' correspondence - a perfectly fair point - were it not for the fact that the existing legislation does this perfectly adequately already!".
		This expresses concern with the Information Tribunal's recent decisions on the public interest test and raises the possibility that the ministerial veto may be used or that the FOI Act might be amended to provide greater protection for government deliberations.
		This briefing was circulated to MPs for an adjournment debate on 7 February on the government's proposals to restrict the FOI Act.
