by Mark Yon Last month I decided I would try and NOT mention the English weather in future transmissions. But I’m a Brit, and it’s become a tradition! So, suffice it to say that the commute to work has been easier this month and, since we last spoke, the weather has been more typically Spring.  … Continue reading [April 25, 1963] A Brighter Future?  New Worlds, May 1963 →

Pollard Here, as I sit writing in May 1962, I’m contemplating change.  The change that occurs when the old is phased out, and new things are built that replace the familiar.  What spurred this moment of reflection was the news of the last trolley bus run in London which, as fate would … Continue reading [May 21, 1962] Old AND New (UK's New Worlds Magazine) →

9 Comments

I don't know whether the theme of the July 1961 IF science fiction was … Continue reading [June 9, 1961] Common denominator (July 1961 IF) →
