This issue of Analog Science Fact & Fiction (April 1962, British edition, edited by John W. Campbell) features science fiction and science fact content. The serial "Black Man's Burden" by Mack Reynolds concerns African decolonization and technological change—beginning with Omar ben Crawf and other Tuareg traveling smiths arriving in a desert camp with advanced vehicles, challenging traditional tribal structures as development projects (oil fields, dams, irrigation) offer employment alternatives to subsistence and servitude. Editor Campbell's essay "The Nature of the Supernatural" examines definitions of the supernatural through conceptual frameworks: what one culture deems impossible or contrary to natural order versus behavioral expectations. The issue includes novelettes "The Helpful Hand of God" by Tom Godwin and "The Foreign Hand Tie" by David Gordon, and stories including R. R. Fehrenbach's "Remember the Alamo!" and Gordon Dickson's "Sleight of Wit," plus science fact content on Neptune's orbit observatory.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
