    Vol. LXIII, No. 2. Cover illustration for "Wherever You Are" (untitled in the magazine). The cover is credited (TOC) to Freas, but signed "Kelly Freas". Some artwork credited to Summers (beginning of story text) is signed "LRS". Some artwork credited to Martinez (beginning of story text) is signed with a stylized "M". Interior artwork credited to Freas (beginning of story text) is signed with his KF-circle logo. The reviews on p. 142 are buried in, & are the substance of, an initial essay entitled "Grim New World?". Following this in an untitled section are reviews of two sound recordings (LPs): Rockets, Missiles and Space Travel [interviews & sound clips] and Nightwatch [poetry]. The reviews on pp. 149-150 are reprint notices with brief comments. The review of 6 from Worlds Beyond gives only that title (not the subtitle).
