This issue of Analog features editor John W. Campbell's editorial "Three Degrees of Freedom," analyzing cultural systems through thermodynamic metaphors—examining how societies distribute political, social, religious, and economic freedoms independently of one another, using examples ranging from the hypothetical anarchic "Alphastan" to historical Palestine under Roman rule. The fiction includes: the opening installment of "Anything You Can Do" by Darrell T. Langart, concerning an alien contact problem requiring superhuman capability; Don Westlake's novelette "Look Before You Leap"; short stories "The Next Logical Step" by Ben Bova, "Sight Gag" by Larry M. Harris, and "Pandemic" by J. F. Bone. A science fact article, "Moloch Horridus," details the thorny Australian lizard and its ant-consumption habits. The issue also contains reader departments including letters and an advance notice section.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
