EDITOR's NOTE. Can any one help on this?
--------------------
From: Peter Kartsev (petr@glas.apc.org)

I've been meaning to ask about this for a long time, since I first read
of the making of "The Astronaut's Wife". It would appear from the
synopsis of the now-released film that it uses a plot idea that VN once
suggested to Alfred Hitchcock in the course of their brief
correspondence. Plagiarism or coincidence? Anybody saw the film? Any
thoughts on the matter? Is there a lawsuit pending?

Peter.
