   A TALE OF THE 'EVANS Spr 46 (Evans). Tanner tries to find an objective criterion for progress. Reprint from a psychic magazine commenting on A-- St--. Mailing comments.
TIMEBINDER Spr 46 (Evans). The cover is standardized. EEvans almost bares his soul. Algie Budrye trades in illogics. Reprint of a Yerks article. Credo by Florence Stephenson Anderson.

   FANORAMA Spr 46 (Anderson). A first issue, and good. Mailing comments touch on ware we didn't win, the Le Zombie litho, et al; and Andy joins Tucker's funny clippings club.
   "Dear FAPA Member: (Dunkelberger). An explanation of the distribution thru FAPA of material also mailed to Fanews subscribers.
(Column Two)
   PHANTEUR Spr 46 (Thompson). Mottled blueprint cover with geometric design. Laney tries to see how many unpleasant jobs science could abolish. A considerable selection of poetry.
   L'INCONNU Mar 46 (Sehnert). Results of a previous poll on national origins, occupations, &c; and a new poll (with postcard enclosed), which presents the top three stories, magazines, and authors, rank of which is to be voted on
   BLITHERINGS Spr 46 (Davis). Some atomic jingles, a satire on military control, and one dead serious page on the subject. An article explaining nonreligion. Attempt to forecast the nature of lunar colonies. Comments on sentimentality and other things, puzzles.
   INSPIRATION Apr 46 (Bridges). This is the kind of postwar project many a GI fan has contemplated. A 40-page issue, with geometric cover in several colors. Copies of characteristic title headings provide white space for the long article going thru all s-f prozines to 1941, reviewing Lynn's favorites. Other contents include a foto of Lynn and Milty, design for future city development, advertisement of a lovely robot, ktp.
   THE VOICE Spr 46 (Croutch). Rather fervid comments about something or other; something on Palmer; Canfans' return; a page of cartoons; announcement of the Society of Pollyannas and Optimists;.
   HORIZONS #26 (Warner). A review of Kipling's fantasies; Gardner on FFM; impressions on rereading the classics;.
   PLENUM Apr 46 (Rothman). 26-year old Rothman, grown tired of the stumblebum clown Milty, sets out in a somewhat new direction. This first issue features a discussion of the influence of fantasy on different fans' educations, criticism of Wylie's Night Unto Night, and describes Transition in terms of writings we've seen.
   READER AND COLLECTOR Jan 46 (Koenig). A defence of Pilgrims Through Space and Time, by Heck; and parts 2 and 3 of the Butman essay which identify theosophical elements in future and fantasy fiction, and show how the modern elements of stef fulfill the functions of old mythology.
   READER AND COLLECTOR Apr 46 (Koenig). Butman on mystical fantasy, and conclusion of the essay. Reprint of material
