About this issue

This issue presents science fiction across multiple lengths. The feature story is "Dust Thou Art" by Kris Neville, exploring whether a character named Matuska perceives the future of his own kind on Earth. "To Save a World" by Irving E. Cox Jr., a novelet, examines a society where people seek comforting lies over horrific truths. The issue contains six short stories: Harry Warner Jr.'s "Freedom of the Press" explores press freedom's chaotic potential; Algis Budrys contributes "Stand Watch in the Sky," about an eerie vigil above the clouds; "Double-Talk" by Charles Dye concerns a man enslaved by words of praise; Mack Reynolds' "Please to Remember" involves Uncle Manfred reflecting on the past; "Anyone Here Seen Herbie Green?" by Robert K. Otturn questions something claiming that name; and "Ixtl Igo, Son!" by Raymond E. Banks deals with a redhead and matters of profit. The issue also includes L. Sprague de Camp's special article "The Phantom Phoenicians," book reviews by James Blish and Robert W. Lowndes, and reader feedback and voting.
