Hevelin Collection. “Who?” Algis Budrys, That’s Who In late 1954, science fiction author and editor, Algis Budrys, walked into the offices of Fantastic Universe, a magazine that had been publishing his short stories with some regularity. Nosing around, Budrys saw a painting by illustrator, Kelly Freas (he created MAD’s Alfred E. Neuman!) Algis Budrys, born Algirdas Jonas Budrys in 1931, lived as a child in Konigsberg, East Prussia.

The following suggestions for reading/writing lessons based on science fiction pulp publications were authored by a former NASA propulsion engineering manager by the name of Norm Chaffee. Norm's love of scifi pulps stimuated his interest in space leading to his NASA career. Here is his account along with his suggestions on how pulps might be employed to teach English rhetoric: For reading exercises, I think selecting some of the older (and perhaps newer) science fiction classic short stories for reading and analyzing would be a great exercise - stuff by Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Paul Anderson, etc. and those scifi authors who were writing in the 50's and 60's and even later.
I remember as a young teen going to the drugstore with my paper route money each weekend to buy two or three of the "pulp" science fiction monthly magazines and just inhaling them!
