Unfortunately, this issue, which was scheduled and started in mid-Dec., didn't make it until January.... Blame it on an unusually hectic Christmas/ New Years season, the accelerated TWJ schedule, the "spreading" of our eye trouble, to our right eye, or what-have-you. At any rate, #15 will be out later this month, and we will try again in Feb. to get SOTWJ on to a bi-weekly (or, failing'that, tri-weekly) schedule. Please bear with us.... • Nancy Webb is back in town; we called the FORECAST EM number to enter a sub­ scription, and were surprised to find her on the other end of the line.... Our congratulations to newlyweds Jan Slavin (former WSFA member) and Earl Eversp also to Charlie Brown and Dena Benatan (LOCUS Co-editors).

  • JOURNAL Supplement IWJ 75-1 (Dissecting) a The- HEART of the MATTER
    JOURNAL Supplement IWJ 75-1 (dissecting) a the- HEART OF THE MATTER Operational Procedures Supervised by­ Richard Delap The heat of summer produces all sorts of strange phenomena, but in the sf genre where odd happenings are par for the course, it all seems to be taken for •granted by the even stranger readership. This summer the heat was intense—one magazine died and another was reborn from a death of several years ago—but read­ ers straining under the weight of lethargy didn’t seem to take much notice of either, event. • ~ ... 1970 doesn't seem' to be taking shape as a year the magazines can point to with much1pride, but it seems oart and oarcel with the scraggly run of most other dramatic presentations of the year, from film an^ stage drama to television (was that ever any good?) to novels, both sf and mainstream. Does it seem that each foray year .in?a-.:new decade comes on weak, that writers have huffed and puffed to the end of the previous ten years and the zero-year reflects the limp product of a limp crew? Or am I just making things up again? Summer 1970 follows the pattern of the previous months closely—take it easy, ride it out,-it can get either better or worse. It can’t stay sluggish much longer. I tell you, if s the heat. Magazines for JULY-AUGUST, 1970 AMAZING.STORIES and FANTASTIC; Ted White is on his moral hobby-horse again with these issues, and if he sounded suspiciously foolish with previous ramblings he sounds definitely so this time around.

  • Going Green with Bricks and Mortar
    SUSTAINABILITY Going Green with Bricks and Mortar by Sherrie Negrea BY DECEMBER, THE LOS ANGELES Community College District, one of the largest two-year college systems in the country, will become completely energy independent, relying on a combination of solar, wind, and geothermal technology to power its nine colleges. As it approaches this milestone, the district is constructing B30 environmentally sustainable buildings, all of which will be equipped with recycled carpeting and furniture, and has plans for 14 more. The example set by the Los Angeles district is being embraced by two-year colleges across the country. As they renovate or expand older campuses, community colleges are championing sustainable development in response to demands from environmentally savvy students, faculty, trustees, and community leaders. “I think a common story for many of the colleges is that they had not seen any action for the last 30 or 40 years,” says Larry Eisenberg, executive director for facilities planning and development with the Los Angeles district. “We got into a serious catch-up and maintenance mode. And the common cry for higher education at about the same time was sustainability.” coming through community colleges to be years, the additional investment required Although sustainable development part of the sustainability economy,” says for sustainable development in higher has been more prevalent at four-year Don Hensley, a principal with the SHW education has dropped, in part due to colleges, which can use private donations Group, a Plano, Tex.-based architectural competition among manufacturers of to fund green projects, community firm that specializes in higher education.

  • Knot a Fanzine 2
    KNOT A FANZINE #2 2020 A compendium produced by Marc Ortlieb, P.O. Box 215 Forest Hill Vic 3131. [email protected]. This issue will be published in January 2021. Notes From The Spectacle Case As mentioned in the previous issue, Knot A Fanzine is a compendium of my ANZAPA contributions for the year, minus the mailing comments, which really don’t make much sense outside of ANZAPA. I published the first issue late in 2020, covering my 2019 ANZAPA contributions (plus one 2018 zine). This one will cover the strange COVID-19 ridden year of 2020. Now that I’ve caught up with this, expect the next issue in January 2021, all things being equal. ANZAPA, as you may or may not know, is the Australia New Zealand Amateur Press Association. While not having quite the pedigree of FAPA or SAPS, it’s one of the few remaining amateur press associations that has gone from strength to strength of late. The December 2020 mailing has 502 pages from 25 of its 27 members. We currently have 22 Australian members, from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. We don’t currently have members from Western Australia or Tasmania, though we have had in the past. Despite the name of the apa, we don’t currently have any New Zealand members. ANZAPA started off life as APA-A but became ANZAPA when it was decided that, if the U.S. had Frank Zappa, we could have ANZAPA. It then took about 38 mailings until we actually got a New Zealand member - Mervyn Barrett.

  • Norton Conducted by Paul Walker Andre Norton: Yes, I Will Agree to the Interview, but I Must in All Fairness Warn You That I Do Not Live a Very Exciting Life
    No. 40 September 1972 An Interview With Andre Norton Conducted by Paul Walker Andre Norton: Yes, I will agree to the interview, but I must in all fairness warn you that I do not live a very exciting life. In fact, I live a rather dull one—so if you are expecting fireworks, you will be disappointed. Also, I am not of the ‘new wave’ writers, but rather a very staid teller of old fashioned stories with firm plots and morals. So be warned and consider . "A very staid teller of old fashioned stories with firm plots and morals.” Why do you prefer this kind of story? Is it the kind of story you prefer to read? And if so, who are your favorite writers? Yes, I prefer reading the type of story I write—that is, a tightly plotted action story. The ‘new wave’ fiction, with sprawling action and the anti-hero, is certainly NOT to my taste. And I see no reason for piling in sex scenes—much more can be accomplished by putting the reader’s imagination to work—under-stating rather than over-stating. That, to me, is the better course in writing. In sf, my favorite writers are Poul Anderson, Eric Frank Russell, James Schmitz, Ursula Le Guin, and Hal Clement. Their books I re-read—along with H. Beam Piper, from whom, alas, we shall have no more good tales. To me these people, their stories, appeal—they absorb my imagination. I can identify with their main characters. In fantasy, my favorites are Tolkien, de Camp, David Mason, Fritz Leiber—again, master story tellers.
