Contents are, of course, near fine. The famed magazine of Americana, in an issue probably most notable for its pieces on Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, Susan Hayward, and short fiction (in various lengths) by notables William Hazlett Upson (Alexander Botts - Security Agent), Hugh B. Cave, Harriet Frank Jr and Clarence Budington Kelland, as well as others (see scan of contents page). Some other topics: The Duke of Bedford; Civil Defense in bad straits; Pipe Smoking; Spirit Lake.
