  • Notes: Dec. 1959←Jan. 1960→Feb. 1960 Vol. LXIV, No. 5. Cover illustration for "Deathworld" (untitled in the magazine). "Solid Plutonium Headache" is a reprint of material from Argonne National Labs, containing (after introductory comments presumably by Campbell) a section by Foote and a section by Shuck. These are credited at the heads of the sections. There is no credit at the beginning of the article as a whole & none in the table of contents. The title of "Deathworld" (part) on its title page is given as "Deathworld .... .... ". Neither the page footers nor the table of contents reflects this, and it seems likely to be a typographical device to span to the next page under the illustration. Similarly, the title page for "A Rose by Other Name ... " gives that as " ... A Rose by Other Name ... ", again not reflected elsewhere; "Viewpoint" is "Viewpoint ...."; "Stress Pattern" is "Stress ...... Pattern" The reviews on pp. 170-171 are buried in Miller's initial essay, titled "A Trend to Integration". The reviews on p. 176 are reprint reviews with comments. The full text and images of this edition are available at Luminist.org, see web page for link.
