Sprague de Camp - A gardener and a poet run a cloak-and-dagger race through Time; "Baby Face" (a novelet) by Henry Kuttner - The tough Marine sergeant swapped places with a diapered demon; "Hero" by Horace L. Gold - They flung roses -- and loneliness -- everywhere along his path; and "The War of the Weeds" by Carl Jacobi - They'd all go mad before they could stop this weird influence. New stories: "Death Ship" by Richard Matheson - The captain had lost all authority over his men, over the ship; and "Too Bad You Died" by Joseph Slotkin - When you're born, you cry -- and when you leave, we cry for you! Plus features: Cosmic Encores and Have You Heard -- ? Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 148 pages, B&W. Cover price $0.25.
