Robert Bloch tag-teams with Ellison on two linked stories about Jack the Ripper being abducted into the far future. Bloody and perhaps a bit too edgy in places, but good.

Ellison teams up with Ben Bova for a robo-cop story. By his own admission Ellison is very anti-police, and tried to make a sympathetic police officer character anyway. It's a story about an experimental unit that might replace beat cops... And the flaw is fairly obvious, but well told.
