The cover by Leo Morey on this issue of SCIENCE FICTION QUARTERLY caught my eye as I was looking through the Fictionmags Index. There's a decent group of writers inside this issue as well: Arthur C. Clarke, James Blish, Frederik Pohl (writing as James MacCreigh), James E. Gunn (writing as Edwin James), Larry T. Shaw (who was my editor, officially, for one issue of MSMM, although I never had any contact with him whatsoever), Morton Klass, and Joe Kennedy (writing as Joquel Kennedy). I'm not familiar with Klass and Kennedy, but I've read and enjoyed work by all the others. This issue is available at the Internet Archive, along with other issues of SCIENCE FICTION QUARTERLY.

Can't speak for anything else by Morton Klass (never heard of him till now) but "The Altruist" was a nice short read that got a smile out of me at the end.
Klass, the brother of William Tenn, had a few science fiction stories published, mainly in the 1950s. He was a well-respected anthropologist who wrote on the anthropology of religion in India and the Caribbean.
