15 "Wavelenth", Perhaps you are showing the influence of Forrie, Not "so strangely enough, the first thing I noticed about the issue was the cover, The cover is not too bad, but neither is it just plain good. Try to have a better one next issue. The idea behind "Science Fiction Briefs" is good, but if you cannot give little-known facts about stf., I suggest that you drop it. It was fairly good this issue, "Birth of a pro" is propaganda ( otherwise known as advertisement ) and interesting propaganda; so I like it this time. Hurray for Pohl. He isn't one of those persons ( like the editors of TWS ) who are surprised easily. I still remember: "On October 25th, 1939, I was a fan and a writer of sorts and. . an editor. And that was unamazing too; I took it for granted." Say, Pohl missed a chance for a plug there. He could have said "un-Astonishing", instead of "unamazing." Such things as "Birth of a Fan" are always interesting. ... I have but one thing to say about my contribution. Your editing improved it. "The Science Fiction Conscience Has No Conscience". That is surprising. Is it? It is also "dorganized" . . .that should be "disorganized". . .and rambling, which characteristics do not make it very enjoyable reading. "My Pet Peeve in Science Fiction" reminds me that I shall some day have to do two things. I shall have to express my pet peeve in scientific fiction ( the Warner influence, you know ) and also what I think of much-discussed-and-cussed Palmer and his un-"Amazing Stories". IT'S WHISPERED THAT . . . Art Widner, Jr. will appear with a startling article in the new Ackerman Publication, "Imagi-Music." "The Menace That Never Was", a short-short story by author, Henry Andrew Ackerman, will be published sometime soon in "Fanatic." Charles R. Tanner's latest story in his "Tumithak^^series was cut down unmercifully in "order to meet editorial requirements. Any apparent defects in the story may well be attributed to this fact. Louis Russell Chauvenet has won the Presidential race in the NFFF. Fred Pohl is the new "Forgotten Man of Stf." T. O'Connor Sloane, Ph.D., former editor Of "Amazing Stories", was the first.
