Mazel tov!

This article is going to be short on news as the Marcus family has been occupied this past week.  The Journey has had its first inter-staff wedding!  The Young Traveler and Trek Correspondent Elijah broke the glass under the chupah on the 19th.  Sadly, the pictures aren't back from the Fotomat, so in lieu of that, here is a shot from my nephew David's wedding to Ada Argov in Israel from 1962.

Very blurry black-and-white photograph of a couple at their wedding. The bride is wearing a translucent veil and a slim, sleeveless, unadorned white dress. The groom is wearing a plain white shirt, black pants, and a conic hat.

The issue at hand

Between last-minute dress alterations and sifting through RSVPs, I managed to snatch time to read the stories of this month's Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.  Unlike the marriage of Lorelei and Elijah, it is not a flawless affair, but it is also not without its charms.  Let's take a look:

Cover for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction for July 1970. It announces stories by Isaac Asimov, Robert Silverberg, L. Sprague de Camp, Joanna Russ, Barry Malzberg, and Sterling Lanier. The cover illustration shows two men in long robes, one with a wizard hat and the other with a horned helmet. At the center of the illustration is a human face with mechanical eyes.
