Vol 13, No 6. Cover by McKenna from "Three Worlds to Conquer" as noted on the Contents/copyright page (scanned version from archive.org). "Hue and Cry", a letter column, is credited to "The Readers" in the table of contents, but signed first "Editor" and then "FP" (for Frederik Pohl) at the very end. Philip K. Dick's story "Waterspider" has the following introduction on page 100: "You've read Poul Anderson stories before -- but you've never read a Poul Anderson story like this one!" This is not an error but rather a reference to the contents of the Dick novelette. The editorial is signed THS which are presumed to be the initials of Feature Editor Theodore Sturgeon. The full text and images of this edition are available at The Internet Archive, see web page for link.
