Can anybody tell me if a story called _The Yehudi Principle_ by **Frederic Brown** is available in any anthologies currently in print, please.

It’s [**Fredric Brown**](http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/fbrown.htm), although the mis-spelling is common. Try [From These Ashes: the Complete Short SF of Fredric Brown](http://www.store.nesfa.org/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=N&Product_Code=1-886778-18-3), published by NEFSA Press. (Damn you, Cal Meacham! You type too fast.) The NEFSA listing shows that it does include _The Yehudi Principle_.

Thanks to you both; at least I knew not to spell it with a _k_ at the end!
