Indeed.  Cele discovered and first published both Keith Laumer and Ursula
K. LeGuin.   (And she had the dubious honor of publishing what may or may
not have been my first SF short story -- I sold "Phoenix" to her the same
day I sold "I, Executioner" to Fred Pohl, and the issues of AMAZING and IF
in which those stories respectively appeared, were published the same day
in January, 1963....)

I'm curious about the new(est) AMAZING, and I'm also curious about where it
will be sold.

On a separate note, Old Town News, in Alexandria, will be closing its doors
permanently on Friday, August 27th.  RIP.
