A left-wing Laborite from the cotton-milling town of Blackburn in Lancashire and the only woman in Wilson's Cabinet, Mrs. Castle, 56, has just been handed a job that would test the mettle of any male.

"It took almost a negative Wassermann test just to see the magazines," says Editorial Consultant David McDowell. But under persistent prodding, the owners eventually let them go-in exchange for a new volume of reprints. Even so, Whit Burnett, editor of Story, insured his copy of the first issue for $570 and kept calling up Kraus...
