Notes:
Davis is a PhD mathematician (Harvard, 1950) who was Associate Editor of _Mathematical Reviews_ for a while. He has been interested in SF since 1940 and wrote a number of stories for _Astounding_ in the mid-40's. His appearances became less frequent since the 50's, but Tuck's assertion (made in 1968) that Davis stopped publishing SF after 1954 was incorrect.
