Re: “...as Heinlein might say, Year_of_the_Jackpot”I often say that 1960s SF is my favorite, but you're making me wonder if I don't like the 1950s... and Galaxy Magazine in particular... even more. After all, Heinlein was at his peak (your story was published in March of '52.) Bester's "The Demolished Man" was serialized by Galaxy in January of the same year. February came out with "Dr. Kometevsky's Day" by Fritz Leiber and "Conditionally Human" by Walter M. Miller, Jr. Along with your Heinlein story, March had Damon Knight's "Catch That Martian." Knight followed up in April with "Ticket To Anywwhere" along with "The Moon is Green" by Leiber." I don't have May, but "Gravy Planet" by Pohl and Kornbluth in June, "Dumb Martian" by John Wyndham and "Shipshape Home" by Richard Matheson in July, "Surface Tension" by James Blish and "Yesterday House" by Leiber in August, "The Mousetrap" by Gordon R. Dickson in September, "Baby is Three" by Theodore Sturgeon and "Halo" by Hal Clement in October, "The Martian Way" by Asimov, "Warrior Race" by Robert Sheckley and "The Altar at Midnight" by Kornbluth in November, "Ring Around the Sun" by Clifford D. Simak, "The Deep" by Asimov, "Cost of Living" by Sheckley in December. What a year. These are the DEANS of Science Fiction, all at their peak.

I wish there was such a publication today.

I'll follow up this post with a Galaxy cover pic (well, it's SORT of a pic) from October 1952 that oughta knock your socks off.

Sometimes one crazy thing leads to another. Sometimes you have, as Heinlein might say, Year_of_the_Jackpot:

If you open up that box, you will find a treat at the bottom!

After "President" and his band of merry gangsters finish “cleaning up” their incriminating toys in Ukraine, what do you suppose they might gift us with next? You know, just to keep us amused?
