April 2004
Our April issue features quite a smorgasbord of fiction, some of it as deliciously silly as the season might lead you to expect, and some of it serious, intense, and thought-provoking. Pete D. Manison’s "Tea With Vicky," for example, brings a new kind of immediacy to the perennial speculation about what people might do with a second chance at "might-have-beens." A new author, Scott William Carter, offers a far-future predicament in which some might see uncomfortable parallels to much more familiar events–and some disturbing questions to ponder. And, of course, we have the continuation of Joe Haldeman’s Camouflage. (If some of you were puzzled over what last month’s cover had to do with the story, that may now become clearer!)
Richard A. Lovett offers another fact article on an odd but productive juxtaposition of sciences: "forensic seismology." Last but not least, we have another of those thoughtful and quirky musings Geoffrey A. Landis has been doing lately, this one on "Rules of Engineering Projects"–few of which you’ll find in textbooks, but all of which you may find very relevant to real life.
