radio playlet:
"Something's Going to Happen to Henry"

amusing that feminist writer Shore has her only Galaxy story in the same issue as the first part of one of Heinlein's, shall we put it, more controversial (and Not Greatest) novels...nonfiction:

Many thanks! "Decision" is, alas, incomplete.
I haven't read through that one yet...I've mostly seen THE NEW MASSES material today for the first time...but did you scroll down as you meant to move from page to page? I See all three pages with not obvious missing text.
It ends at the bottom of (the magazine's) page 12 with "At around quarter to five, when she was"; page 13 sees the start of a news article. I hunted around for a continuation, but . . .
Aaargh! I'm being stupid (no change there, then). Because of the cartoon, I didn't see the half-columns to the right.
First time I heard of Wilma Shore. Thanks for the links to her stories and essays, Todd.
Alas, you won't be alone in this, Prashant...you're quite welcome.
