Ferman, MANAGING EDITOil Isaac Asimov, CONTRIBUTING SCIENCE EDITOR In this issue ••• • • • RICHARD MATHESON returns to us, after an absence whose length we all regret (somewhat mitigated by our having an­ other story of his in our inventory). VANCE AANDAHL strikes a blow for liberty and on behalf of a type of American we hope is not vanishing, viz. the local "character." New to us but not tQ our former sister-magazine, EQMM, is MW A Award-winner ROBERT W ALLSTEN, who brings us up to date on gigolos. A fine, off-beat -and off-planet-story makes three for F&SF by OTIS KID· WELL BURGER. We have two Whites with us this time: DON WHITE of England, with a light-hearted and wicked little piece; and JAMES WHITE of Ulster, whose long story is a combination of SF and mystery; and ROBERT SILVERBERG's brief and pointed item, which might be called, if we were a spelling-reformer, Science Filosophy. Readers who remember (and who can forget?) JOHN ANTHONY WEST's sardonic report of the husband who atrophied while his wife fluttered and nattered will not want to miss his newest mordant story of matrimony. And lastly is the an­ tique splendor of the late and illustrious ISRAEL ZANGWILL's account of G-d, Man, and Devil in a vanished London. THIS MONTH's COVER depicts an unmanned exploratory rocket land­ ing on a hypothetical planet. The gaseous clouds arc the great nebulae in the constellation Orion. They take the planet out of our solar system. Coming next month . • • • and under full steam, is RICHARD McKENNA, CPO, USN (Ret.), whose stories you have seen here twice before-and whose new mainstream novel (a sure best seller) has been taken by the SEPost, Book Of The Month Club, and the movies-with an SF novel neatly blending love, combat and ecology. Also a nautical note: the first F&SF story by HARRY HARRISON­ screamingly funny-is about an old-time Royal Navy captain named Honorio Harpplayer. Nuff sed? ···why is everybody fond of Vance Aandahl?'' a disgruntled and unsolicited question asked recently, via our mail. The answer is, pretty simply, ··Because he is a damned good writer, that's why." He says of his latest story that he ..meant it to be subtle and elliptical, with intimations of fantasy-in a sense the old man represents everything that is romantic and imag­ inative in man, and his age and singularity represent the fact that these things are disappearing in our culture." In a sensei · And in another sense, or other senses, we inquired, are there perhaps Allegories, References to Mythology, Hidden Meanings, in the story? Is the old man, say, Hercules? Or a Hercules, Southron Mountain style? All that we can say of young Mr. Aandahl's reply is that it was subtle and elliptical, with intimations of fantasy . What was the golden ring?

  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

  • INTERVIEW with ROBERT BLOCH - 1 - by Jean-Marc Lofficier
    INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT BLOCH - 1 - By Jean-Marc Lofficier INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT BLOCH Randy and Jean-Marc Lofficier RL: Who do you consider to be at the root of your inspiration for your writing of terror and horror fiction? RB: Well, I spent eleven years in an advertising agency! Actually, as a child I was interested in reading that sort of thing. But, I was more interested, and I think most imaginative children are, in the mysteries of death, age and cruelty. Why do these things happen? Why do people do these things to one another? An innocent child believes in the protection and security of his daddy and mama, his friends and his safe home environment. Then to read and learn about these things is a great shock. I've done a good deal of talking with many other contemporary writers of this sort of fiction, people like Stephen King, Peter Straub, Richard Matheson and half-a- dozen others. They all had the same experience; they all feel this was their motivation. Some kids don't think about these things particularly, but I did. Particularly when I was hiding under the bed or in the closet after seeing something like Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera for the first time at the age of 8 or 9. I decided, as I guess most of these people did, if you can't lick ‘em, join ‘em. So, I learned the method of what it is that terrifies other people as well. Yet, I tried to do it in a way that is safe.
