ii, SOAMPEDDL I shall be terribly dis- appointed if you don’t all write in and tell me that this month’s lead story is one of the finest we have had. I have published Jonathan Burke several times before, as you know, but I can’t help feeling that he has topped his pre- vious high standard with The Envied. Do tell me if you agree. Sydney J. Bounds has been absent from these pages for quite a while; now he is back with a tragi-comical piece that I hope will amuse you. I think we'll be having him again shortly. Anthony Reed > is new to us, but I believe that when you have read his poig- nant story in this issue you will want more. Let me know. Peter J. Hazell is another author we have not published before. Tell me what you think of his restrained style as seen in The Blackdown Miracle. I rather like it. | That’s your fiction fare this month. Nonfiction includes Professor Delwood’s answer to his own question of how the universe can be explained on a non-expanding basis. George Duncan is back with an interesting piece on the new drugs that make you see things. There’s a further in- stalment in the series on scientific method. W. W. By- ford tells us a few things about gravity that we might not have known before. And we brim the cup with the usual fan- zine reviews, book reviews and projectiles. Two features have been dropped. One is the fan group thing. I’ve dropped it because the fan groups don’t seem to have enough initiative to send comiclooks.conn
