Date in the City Room is a punchy, short story published in Weird Tales, January, 1938 by Talbot Johns. It blends a classic supernatural twist with a gritty, fast-paced journalism setting. The story takes place late at night in a frantic metropolitan newspaper office— the "city room." Two reporters meet up in the press room, waiting to see a massive headline hit the morning papers. As they talk and watch the printing presses roll, it is revealed that the breaking news story they are waiting on details a horrific crime and its immediate aftermath: the execution of a killer.

Talbot Johns (1909 -1969) was an American author and advertising executive. While he only published a handful of fiction pieces, his professional life was deeply rooted in the golden age of American advertising.

Betelgeuse Bridge is a satirical science fiction short story by William Tenn, first published in the April 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. It serves as a sharp, humorous commentary on interstellar diplomacy, economics, and cosmic "racketeering". The story is told from the perspective of a public relations executive hired by the government. A race of highly intelligent, slimy, snail-like aliens arrives on Earth from the Betelgeuse star system. Rather than invading Earth with weapons, the polite and unassuming aliens engage in trade. Only too late do humans realize what they really wanted.

William Tenn was the celebrated pen name of Philip Klass (1920-2010), a British-born American author and academic widely recognized as one of science fiction’s greatest and sharpest satirists. He began publishing immediately after his military discharge, debuting with Alexander the Bait in 1946. Under the pseudonym William Tenn, he became a dominant voice in the 1950s golden age of science fiction, particularly in Galaxy Science Fiction.
