Jim Cunningham sez:

<< Collier's used to run some pretty good SF and fantasy from time to time. >>

       "Collier's" and Chesley Bonestell were responsible for the birth of 
our space program in large part, if I'm not mistaken. I remember my parents 
getting the issue of "Collier's" with a feature story on the Grand Opening of 
Ned Colbert's then new Jurassic Dinosaur hall at the AMNH. There was a little 
photo that had Knight's Allosaurus sculpture that haunted me for years. This 
would be 1954-55 sometime.
       There was also a "Saturday Evening Post"story by a guy named Bradbury 
titled, "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms", I believe. DV
