by Victoria Silverwolf From Arabia to Japan The collection of Middle Eastern folktales known in English as Arabian Nights or One Thousand and One Nights is familiar to folks all over the world.

by David Levinson A paper dragon Back in April, I wrote about a border skirmish between the Soviet Union and China. That wasn’t the end of the matter. The Soviets went on a minor diplomatic offensive, trying to get India to join an alliance against China and to pull North Korea back into the Soviet … Continue reading [November 2, 1969] Love and Hate (December 1969 IF)
by Gideon Marcus Justice delayed The new Supreme Court, whose prime continuity to the old one is the preservation of the name "Warren" in its Chief Justice, is now in session—minus one Justice…for now. Warren Burger has taken over from Earl Warren, and one can already feel the rightward lurch of our nation's highest judiciary. … Continue reading [October 12, 1969] My country, right or… (November 1969 Galaxy)
By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall Having a teacher first as a mother, and now one for a wife, I think of the year as mirroring the school terms, with the new year beginning in September. But, looking at the newspapers, it doesn’t appear the world has changed much in the last twelve months. On the home … Continue reading [September 8, 1969] Another Orbit around the sun (Orbit 5)
by Fiona Moore Hello! I’m taking over the New Worlds reviews from Mark Yon, which is a little intimidating, but I hope I’ll be able to live up to his excellent legacy. On the UK Star Trek broadcast front, I missed “Mudd’s Women” due to having to take a work trip to Glasgow, but “A … Continue reading [August 22, 1969] Peake District: New Worlds September 1969
by John Boston The September Amazing is fronted by one of Johnny Bruck’s more cliched covers, this one from Perry Rhodan #59 from 1962. It’s notable mainly for the fact that the guy with two guns and a fierce expression seems to be diving through a matter transmitter, and we see, impossibly, both the origin … Continue reading [August 10, 1969] Pushing the Envelope (September 1969 Amazing)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! Well since last month we’ve had the Moon landing, which I’m sure you’ve read all about from my colleagues here at Galactic Journey. It was quite exciting here in England too, even if events were happening well into the early morning hours. Secondly, we’ve started showing episodes … Continue reading [July 28, 1969] New Worlds – on a Budget, August 1969
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! As we are now into Summer here, the warmer weather leads to reflection, if not introspection, although I am quite excited about the next few months. Not only do we have the impending Apollo mission to land men on the Moon – and how exciting does that … Continue reading [June 26, 1969] Five Years… New Worlds, July 1969
by Gideon Marcus Well, I've waited too long to do one of these! In 1961, I got myself a television. Not just any television—I went straight to a color set (an RCA), even as hardly anyone in the nation owned one. Heck, we still had stations that weren't broadcasting in color yet. I think NBC … Continue reading [May 4, 1969] Navigating the Wasteland #3 (1966-69 in (good) television)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again. After the grumpiness of my last review, I’m pleased to say that 1969 has arrived and put me in a better frame of mind. I am determined that this new year will see me being more positive. Mind you, New Worlds seems determined at times to try … Continue reading [January 26, 1968] A New World Order New Worlds, February 1969
