Arthur Squires tells stories of governmental successes and failures in managing technological change ? of Sweden's Vasa, a "tender ship" that sank minutes away from dockside on her maiden voyage in 1628; ? of Oak Ridge's K-25, the brilliantly engineered gaseous diffusion plant that enriched Uranium-235 for the bomb dropped over Hiroshima; ? of the U.S. Army's M-16 rifle, whose failures in combat put names on the Vietnam memorial wall; and other stories illustrating ? how large enterprise fares well when managed by maestros of technology working in an atmosphere of trust, and ? how badly enterprise can go when managed by distant, untrusting bureaucrats who assume tasks according to signs on their doors. Squires proposes drastic changes in the U.S. Government's practices in managing technology, Will readers agree with his suggestions? Perhaps not in detail. Squires invites a debate: he calls urgently for the righting of our ship of state. Top-heavy with a sterile, obstructive bureaucracy, it is The Tender Ship -as tender as Sweden's Vasa.…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Glendale, CA: (Science-Fiction Advertiser), 1952. Volume V, No. 6, the March, 1952 issue of Science-Fiction Advertiser; this is the new name and (somewhat) new, longer form of the earlier incarnation, Fantasy Advertiser fanzine. Roy Squires had long since taken over editing from Norman "Gus" Wilmorth by this time, and wasn't far from bringing it into its heyday. Though longer and a bit richer, at this time the fanzine was still focused on book reviews and ads, and apart from Morris Scott Dollens carried little in the way of interior art and virtually no fiction.yet. Even the reviews, essays and articles gave precious little credit to the writers, who were often the editor or his assistants. None of that would last.Cover is by Dollens, and there are small pieces by Neil Austin and Jon Arfstrom inside as well. Octavo, stapled wraps, 45 pages. Near Fine copy, with only the inevitable modest toning to the paper (see scans). High grade. Very sharp, undamaged copy. An early example of the uniquely American sci-fi / fantasy fanzine genre. One or two interesting articles per issue - in this case Arthur J. Cox's "Deux Ex Machina - A Study of A.E. Van Vogt" and Carolyn Gaybard's "In Defense of Space Opera" - and some rare illustrations, but still, to this point, largely book reviews, ads and a bit of opinion. See scan of contents page for this issue's offerings. Nicely executed book reviews. A classic issue from a fanzine classic from the golden age of sci-fi with all its special genres; replete with the detailed trappings of that world - Science fiction, fantasy and horror, of course. But mostly the sci-fi. Very scarce under this name, the second of three. For the collector. L-pr2. Morris Scott Dollens, Neil Austin, Jon Arfstrom (illustrator).…
