29 T Remaining 36 pro mags go under in stock market crash!

30 W For the first time since 1925, not a single professional science fiction magazine remains in the country! Fans strangely quiet.

31 T Fans across the length and breadth of the nation wail to the skies. Decry the total absence of pro mags. Bewail loudly for "the good old days" when they had 55 monthly and weekly mags!
