SHORT STORIES was still using those red sun covers even this late in its run. This one is by Everett Raymond Kinstler. By this time, the magazine was using a lot of reprints. Every story in this issue, in fact, is a reprint. But with authors such as Ernest Haycox, William Chamberlain, Cliff Farrell, Bennett Foster, Edward Parrish Ware, Jackson Gregory, and Stephen Chalmers, most readers probably still got their money's worth. By the way, I have carried a knife in my teeth before, and while climbing up a cliff, to boot. Sometimes I think it's a wonder my friends and I survived childhood.

It looks like John Belushi in ANIMAL HOUSE.
Thanks, Vladimir.
Jeff, I can definitely see that. I think the guy also bears a resemblance to Dudley Moore.
And a little Robert Newton from TREASURE ISLAND.
