[if you’re new to the Journey, read this to see what we’re all about!]
by Gideon Marcus
What the papers are now calling the Cuban Missile Crisis is a blister ready to burst. An American pilot has been shot down. There are rumors of confrontations between American and Soviet warships. Bomber take-offs have rattled windows in towns near Air Force bases around the nation. Kennedy, Khruschev, and U Thant are all offering proposals to turn this thing off, but so far, there are no takers.
I find almost jarring the contrast between the lurid and constant news reports and the rather bland offerings found in the last American science fiction magazine I'm reviewing this month, namely the November 1962 Analog. Perhaps you'll find its relative drabness a comfort.
