"You only have to be 21 to run for Congress
Back then, you had to be 21 to vote, everywhere. The 26th Amendment changed it to 18 in 1971, at which point I was 23.
The Constitution has always said that to run for the House you must be 25; Senate, 30:…"
"As pre-publicity for an upcoming science fiction movie, the studio constructs a working rocketship complete with real spacesuits.
Back then, the NASA rockets were still blowing up on the launch pads, but a movie studio successfully builds a…"
"In 1958, Andy Griffith played funny, disruptive characters in two military comedies (Onionhead and No Time for Sergeants). In 1957, he had played a political monster in his first movie, A Face in the Crowd. They were smart to change Sheriff Taylor…"
"This is the last movie that Lugosi actually completed. Tor Johnson (like in Plan 9) plays a resurrected victim turned monster. Lugosi plays another resurrected victim, turned mute accomplice. He’s in a lot of scenes and performs well."

"I'm sure that 12-year-old me bought and read this issue. The DC Fandom site has detailed synopses of all three stories:

"TCM never edits/butchers anything. They explain the context and present it as is. One day I'd like to see Br'er Rabbit in The Song of the South, but Disney won't allow it to be seen. This Wikipedia entry tells me that those stories were from African…"
Hey Richard, if you've got the first Tales of Suspense Atlast Masterworks, with the corrected table of contents, how about photocopying it for me and mailing it to me? My copy reprints the table of contents for the first Tales to Astonish volume in error. I'd like a copy of the correct list (all of 3-4 pages, I would think) to fold and store with the volume.
If you do, could you mail it to: Kirk Groeneveld, 105 Second St., Athens, OH 45701
