DREAM QUEST 13 Mediocre. It is my personal opinion that the stories were rejected by Campbell years ago, and the Post accepted them -- by what chance I am unable to say. Yes, the days of the 1941 Heinlein are gone forever, unless some radical change takes place -- either Bob's return to aSF or better stuff in the Post. ((Since this was written he has crashed TWS and SS -- just one more indication of Merwin's up and coming improvement of his zines)) As it is, the stories are notable only for good illustrations, and the fact that they are stf in a slick. Maybe they will gradually get better -- after all, these are only the first two. At any rate, we certainly hope so. THE END **************************** ADDITIONS TO THE EDITORIAL Since the editorial was written, some things have come up which could do with discussion; and, since this space needed filling, we decided to discuss them here. Better than leaving the space blank. First, a note of correction. What I should do is re-dummy the forecast, but since I'm too lazy to do that I shall merely inform you about Peabody's Futurescope. Number 2 of that department was written in the forecast for next issue on the assumption that #2 would be in here. However, the first installment had to be left out on account of lack of space. It will appear in the second issue. A department called "Bookdealers I Have Known" was also knocked into the future. And at this writing I'm uncertain whether Marijane Nuttall's poem, THE EVOKATION PRIMAL, will appear. If not, rest assured that it will show up sooner or later. I'm also uncertain at the moment what kind of paper will be used in the first issue. If it is too thing, rest assured that it will not happen again. We will be more careful about future issues. Now, about the cover. Cockroft sent me a gorgeous drawing suitable for litho. However, being as how we can't afford such an expensive process, we had to mimeo it. My father cut the stencil. If some sucker would donate the necessary money, i'd have it lithoed for a future issue. Remember to send in your material for Issue #2. Right now, everything is needed. Articles, fiction, humor, art, poems,......leave us have piles of contributions. That exhausts our wordage, and besides the space is about filled up. See you along about September. --the Ed
