Page Eight --- Science Fiction Collection THE GOLDEN AGE Mark Reinsberg The Wollheim Sykora funds were a thing of the past. The "Golden Age" had come and gone several times. There were thirty science fiction magazines on the market....just as Palmer had predicted in 1932. NEW FANDOM was the trade name of a thriving air conditioning company; the FUTURIANS was the joint signature of the Associated Astrologers, Syndicated. Only the SCIENCE FICTION LEAGUE remained. The story takes place six months before the BLOOMINGTON L($( WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION which was to be held by a young chap named Alfred Harrey. Bob Tucker? I don't remember for sure. Was he the fellow who stowed away on the second Moon-Rocket (which never reached the moon)? In the past ten years there have been tremendous changes in Fandom. Gone are the Fan Magazines. Most enthusiasts own short wave radio receivers and the more active fans give regular broad casts [[?]]. Those ambitious ones with not so much money content themselves with issuing records every once and a while. It is the humble fan-minded, who does not own a phonograph and beast of a sizeable collection of hard rubber talk-discs. It all concerns two top-flight fans who are feuding. The verbal blasts of Moskowitz and Lowndes are spring breezes compared to the literary row going on between these two.
