Less impressive was a 'spaceship doctor' story by J.A. Winter. But there was also a short Theodore Sturgeon piece, homely but thoughtful.
Two 'science fact' articles were amusing for getting a lot of stuff wrong - Willy Ley on supersonic flight, stating that future supersonic aircraft would all be rockets (jet engines were no more than six or seven years old at the time of publication, so why Ley couldn't see them as being capable of further development I don't know, but he dismisses them as a engineering dead end), and E.L. Locke on 'A New Natural Law' - an article about the connection between gravity and magnetism, which confuses magnetism, magnetic fields and gravity completely, putting all planetary magnetic fields down to rotation. I don't know when we found out about Mars' lack of a magnetosphere, but that rather demolishes Locke's argument.
The issue's headline story was the second part of the serialisation of A.E. van Vogt's 'The Players of Null-A'. The kindest thing I can say of it is that it read like a bad pastiche of itself.
