    Vol. LXX, No. 1. Cover illustration for "A Life for the Stars" (untitled in the magazine). "The Professional Approach" is listed in table of contents as a short story. The credit at the head of the editorial is "John V. Campbell", surely a typo. "The First Science" is listed simply as "Article"; possibly it should be in the Science Fact series. Arguably, the illustration on pp. 76-77 is two separate illustrations. "Statistics Are Wonderful" is not in table of contents. The editorial art credit for "Sorcerer's Apprentice" could be either "Brev" or "Brey" with the "y" having a short descender. Since an artist with the clearly printed name of "Brey" and a similar style is credited in the September, 1963 issue of Analog "Brey" is also credited here. "Brass Tacks" includes a letter by G. Harry Stine. The reviews listed as being on pp. 152-153 are scattered through Miller's initial essay, titled "Dealer's Choice". The review of The Lani People incorrectly gives the author as F. F. Bone. The full text and images of this edition are available at Luminist.org, see web page for link.
