Synopsis
Humans encounter aliens, who are really pleasant, but also mellow and their civilization has been on the same level for centuries if not more. On the other hand they apparently haven't had wars and have little violent crime. The chief of the bureau of racial maturity travels to their home world to find out how they have managed that.
