Comment	Mark Shawhan located and Mike Christie confirmed a cite from a 1971 reprint of Robert Heinlein's story "Elsewhen". The original magazine publication of this story in 1941 was under another title and does not appear to contain any cites for "elsewhen". Rick Hauptmann then checked the 1953 Fantasy Press edition of the collection "Assignment in Eternity", which contains this story, and confirmed that the story bears the title "Elsewhen". Rick Hauptmann submitted a cite from a reprint of C.J. Cherryh's "Gate of Ivrel"; Mike Christie verified the cite in the 1976 first edition. Mike Christie submitted a cite from a reprint of Carl Sagan's 1985 "Contact". Enoch Forrester submitted a 1989 cite from an article by Patricia Hartley and Kirk Lesser in Dragon Magazine.
