    President Jimmy Carter took his close, personal relationship with Jesus and IBM too far.

    Punch cards are the future!!!

    Science fiction is not a popularity contest! Besides, the word “popular” and GALAXY and IF magazines just don’t seem to go together.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses portray him nailed to the front of a copy of “The Watchtower”

    I have a hard time explaining these old book covers to my son: “See, before the Internet we had something called ‘punch cards’… no, they had nothing to with booze…”
