About this issue

This issue features four science-fiction stories and substantial non-fiction content. The lead story, "Tabarni Document" by Tom Carson, presents a fragmented narrative concerning a condemned rebel executed by Marshal Takato, a military leader of the solar system, and later shifts to Takato's son—a student at a remote college who displays dangerous pacifist sympathies, troubling his instructors who practice thought-telepathy. Additional fiction includes "Recoil" by Harry Warner Jr., "Last Journey" by Veronica Welwood, and "Servant Problem" by T.D. Hamm. Non-fiction pieces cover logic and scientific method (Frank Wilson), evolution (John Tayne), inventors and innovation (C.V. Jackson), and the philosopher John Stuart Mill. Regular features include editorial commentary, book reviews, fanzine coverage, and a series debut on fan clubs, focusing on London Circle.
