[From ISFDB: Originally published as by Lewis Padgett, later editions as by Henry Kuttner, but all contents were co-written by Kuttner and Moore.]The Big Blow-up left huge radioactive sores (the graves of cities) all over the face of the Earth. In time, from some of the women who had been near these shunned areas, the first totally hairless babies began to be born. Their difference was not at first noticeable. But eventually, they became known as "Baldies," with another new and terrifying the Baldies were telepathic! From then on they were hated by normal humans, and sometimes hunted like animals.
