I generally agree with your point about how the chems were thought
of when the _Whorl_ was created, and I thank for you for all this
bits of evidence of prejudice on both sides.  I have a quibble with
the above, though.  Marble was taken to Blue, and isn't Cijfer a
chem?  Outside of New Viron, we may not know about some characters
whether they're chems or not.
