From the N.Y. Com. Office SOUTHERN STAR Page 33 Quarterly, "A Message for Jean" (Morley) and "Prometheus Unbound", coming up in Stirring and/or Cosmic. Bok and Studley also do a bit of working together these days. However, the best yet is the drawing Dolbokov did for Paul Dennis Lavond's "Something From Beyond". Dolgy drew the ship and Bok did the monster. Then they put their heads together. Let's fill up the space with Finlay stars, they said to themselves. Which they did. With remarkable restraint, they didn't sign the drawing "Findolbok". THE END #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# From The Dual Controls. Concluded from page 2 ther of Chauvenet's splendid articles. Note that the STAR is using a different type of material from any other fanzine; thought-provoking, controversy-provoking articles and departments of lasting interest, in contrast to the fluffy stuff that has transient interest and transient interest only. A little humor is used, fiction is printed only when it is of professional or near-professional quality. Material of this type is always heartily welcome. Nothing is ever cut for length, and only stuff that violates our religion, sex, politics, feuding taboos are ever censored out. Tucker, by the by, wants us to announce that we cut several passages violating that second taboo out of his column. Which we hereby do. Now we can die happy. We have censored Tucker. We end with one last plea to every reader -- Write! oooo/OO/ooo/000/ The Handwriting on the Wall, Concluded from page 9 point; for, quite obviously, feuds, misunderstandings, petty hatreds cannot sprout when the other party reserves his opinion until and after all factors are known. He recognizes the fact that no person is all bad; no situation without its redeeming virtues, and acts accordingly. Wherein he comes as close to being a grade A, 100 percent superman, mentally, as any other ordinary human being will ever be able to approach. His powers of concentration are most excellent. They enable him to correlate and handle detail with the instinctive, if I may coin a phrase, "logical intuition", of the born creative worker. For much as I dislike that trite and somewhat grandiose phrase it must apply here. Creative, he is, with a certain rhythm and patience that helps to explain his ability and love for music. His energies go in great part to his brain, and he is probably not very active physically. With his interest in and ability for detail he is able to assemble many small and apparently inconsequential trivials into one large and logical whole. This results in a critical faculty that is keen, sharp and penetrating to an indeed remarkable degree. His personality is unostentatious, quiet, likeable. For despite his rather hermit-like leanings, his mental development, his interest in abstract matters, Harry Warner is still a fellow with a humane, social nature, which, if unlike the extravagant extrovert's actual need for people, nevertheless finds expression in his liking and respect for the rights of those about him. He is simply a nice guy trying to get some fun out of life without stepping on anybody's toes in the process, and giving a hard every now and then to someone else involved in the same procedure. And certainly there can be no finer tribute to any ordinary human being than that.
