From the archives: Spacemen, June 1964. "The World's Only Space-Movie Magazine." It was rumored that William Shawn wanted to abandon The New Yorker and take over Spacemen, but the opportunity passed when he took three years to edit a 120,000-word-piece by John McPhee on the mating habits of the Tsetse-fly. A shame, for where else could you find Karloff, Bradbury and ads for surplus Air Force parachutes (only $2.95) and Venus Fly Traps ("Admired by Charles Darwin")? How could any 12-year-old resist such a magazine? This one couldn't.
