We give a new, manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric method for calculatingsuperstring scattering amplitudes, using the ghost pyramid, that is simplerthan all other known methods. No pictures nor non-vertex insertions arerequired other than the usual b and c ghosts of the bosonic string. We evaluatesome tree and loop amplitudes as examples.Comment: 36 pages, 2 figure
