Infinity Science Fiction, June 1956

This issue of Infinity Science Fiction (June 1956, Vol. 1, No. 3) contains nine stories across various science fiction subgenres. The cover feature is "The Guests of Chance" by Charles Beaumont and Chad Oliver, illustrating a chaotic presidential administration where an Aesthetic Party government, led by poet-President St. John Tors, struggles with absurd priorities: debating an egg-shaped Washington redesign and managing cabinet members more interested in creative pursuits than governance. Other stories include Jerry Sohl's "Death in Transit" (crisis aboard an interstellar vessel), James Blish's "Sponge Dive" (atomic war prevention), Leslie Perri's "Under the Skin" (mysterious Martians), and Robert Sheckley's "The Mob." Additional stories by James E. Gunn, Peter Phillips, Betsy Curtis, and Chester Cohen round out the issue. A department by editor Damon Knight and reader feedback complete the contents.
