is excellent, also. [[underline]] The Works [[/underline]] - DAW is ever six months behind the times in these latter days; "Sound the Charge, Fandom", would have come at the right time and provided badly needed support for the NFFF back in the winter. What's this, though, Doc, about the end of science fiction? First I'd heard about it! Johnny's lead article is  mainly interesting for a couple of classic cracks which are presumably original, particularly "...it is entirely possible for a dripping water faucet to disguise itself as a biped." [[underline]] Toward Tomorrow [[/underline]] - No room here for a point-by-point refutation of Tubby's derogatory remarks about fans. I'll content myself with saying that his attitude probably won't change until he gets poetry. "Born on Earth" is one of the finest stories I've seen in a fanzine for a long while. "Superfluous" notable for the remark that "the negro will shine", and I'm glad to see someone take the trouble to dissect Shirley Chapper's sophomoric stuff.
