1	* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: The book mentions in passing that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Station_(New_York_City) Penn Station]] was 'destroyed for reasons lost in the confusion of the late [=XXth=] Century'. Ten years after the book was published, the station was indeed destroyed despite widespread protests.
2	* DeletedScene: The [[https://archive.org/stream/galaxymagazine-1952-01/Galaxy_1952_01#page/n5/mode/2up magazine publication]] includes various sequences not present in the book:
3	** A prologue describing the discovery of antigravity, the origins of the Esper Guild, the rise to power of the Reich and D'Courtney dynasties, and where the murder weapon came from.
4	** Reich has meetings with several of his subordinates, all of whom give him the unwelcome news that the D'Courtney Cartel is outcompeting them.
5	** T8 [Tate] attempts to back out of accompanying Reich to Maria Beaumont's party, only for Reich to blackmail him into obedience.
6	** Several of the guests at Maria Beaumont's party are named and given backstories.
7	** While attempting to find D'Courtney under cover of the Sardine game, Reich encounters Duffy Wyg& and Galen Chervil. This leads to a minor plotline where Galen falls in unrequited love with Duffy, to show why Espers can only love another Esper.
8	** Forensic ('Moltec') teams are shown tracing the movements of Maria's guests.
9	** When Crabbe interrupts Powell's presentation of his case to the District Attorney, he has with him the 'real murderer' -- a deluded member of the public who has convinced himself he was the killer.
10	** The last scene includes Powell's FirstKiss with Barbara.
