Ah.  Got it. Thanks.  Wouldn't Harlan have been pretty young at the time?
Like in his teens?

David Gerrold also wrote for the series (_The Trouble With Tribbles_, just
in case there's a fan who didn't already know that).  He wasn't a big name
like the ones mentioned, but I believe he'd written before.

I believe Ellison not only wrote for B5, but appeared on the show as an
extra too.  He should stick to writing...his acting ability was of the
"deer in the headlights" variety.
