...ahead, everything was straightened out. In Moscow this week, 50,000 copies of the new Amerika, looking much like the old, will go out to Russian readers as soon as U.S.S.R. hits U.S. newsstands (20? a copy). Big and color-splashed, the 64-page, slick-paper U.S.S.R. follows the pattern of most high-class U.S. picture magazines.

If it did, Ito reasons, the bomb must have been carried by a rocket. No existing bomber...

The title story is a neatly cut account of murder, told obliquely and in retrospect. A farmer kills the man he suspects of seducing his bride. Returning home after serving his sentence, the farmer finds his daughter now almost the same age his wife had been when he killed her lover. Slowly, and by indirection, the reader becomes aware that the daughter, too, could be seduced...
