Once upon a time the "Advocate" parodied the Dial, and swarms of little magazines settled like locusts upon the country. More recently "Time" appeared under the Pegasus hoofprint; everyone knows what that did to life. Now fortune sndles on the "Saturday Review of Literature," just fathered by Mother Advocate. Run to your newsdealer, buy a copy, be in the thick of the fight. The "Saturday Review's" circulation soars; the "New Masses" vituperates; the Writers' Congress passes posthumous deprecation Number 33; Bernard De Voto glows and expands...

Presently, satisfied that he had broken the world's airplane altitude record and could get no higher, the lone pilot in the enclosed cockpit started down. Near exhaustion from the height, he began getting dizzy as the plane dived toward normal air, suddenly realized that not enough oxygen was flowing into his air-tight suit, that he was about...
