Morris are back with "The Play's the Thing," with intrepid reporter Betsy Springer and her sidekick (although he'd hate that description ) Denis Semsa and a surprise guest. Kerryn Offord gives up "Paper Mate," a love story by any description. Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett are exploring technology, but what happens to "The Arrow" and why? It's easy to find out. Eastern Poland is experiencing its own problems, which you can read about in Kevin and Karen Evans' "Mitzi the Kid." And, oh, those up-timers have some strange ways. Check out Jack Carroll's "The Lesser of the Two Evils" to find out about them. Herbert Sakalaucks is back, this time with "Aerial Donkeys," and no, that doesn't mean the donkey's have sprouted wings.

Brad Banner tells us about tuberculosis in "The White Plague," and Iver P. Cooper tells us how they might develop treatment for it in "The New Royal Touch: Synthesis of Anti-TB Drugs." Iver also explains how hydrogen, for the airships might be produced in "Hydrogen: The Gas of Levity."

Bud Webster tells us about one of the great science fiction authors, Clifford Simak, in his Past Masters column, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch is getting a bit of TMI in Notes From the Buffer Zone. Join us for our November 2011 issue, number 38 in the ongoing saga of what's happening in Early Modern Europe. Tuberculosis was a killer on a huge scale, ever present and lurking rather than epidemic. The explosion of tuberculosis in the nineteenth century went hand in hand with rapid industrialization and was fomented by bad housing and poverty. From Roman times, the disease fascinated and frustrated doctors, who described its symptoms without understanding its causes. For the Victorians, who elevated illness and morbidity into art forms, the victims of tuberculosis were the ultimate in pale and interesting, not least because they were so often young and gifted. The roll call of genius reads like an anthem for doomed youth: Keats, Chopin, the Brontes (Charlotte, Emily and Anne), Robert Louis Stevenson, Chekhov, Orwell, to name but a few. The dying heroine became as much the stock in trade of Romantic fiction and painting as of opera. This engrossing account of the complex social, artistic and natural history of tuberculosis is also a chronicle of the medical profession at its best and worst. Thought of as hereditary until the isolation of its bacillus in 1882 (in and of itself a remarkable tale), tuberculosis prompted an astonishing range of treatments, from the plausible and well intentioned to the bizarre. Victims traveled south or, in America, west in the hope of recovery. Sanatoriums sprang up, each offering its own invariably lengthy and often unsuccessful cure - in the process making a fortune for its owners A comprehensive examination of TB.
