How do we approach the study of Muad'Dib's father? A man of surpassing warmnth and surprising coldness was the Duke Leto Atreides. Yet, many facts open th eway to this Duke: his abiding love for his Bene Gesserit lady; the dreams he held for his son; the devotion with which men served him. You see him there--a man snared by Destiny, a lonely figure with his light dimmed behind the glory of his son. Still, one must ask: What is the son but an extension of the father?
