Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Location: Dallas, Texas		I'm in! Haven't read much pulp lately and since i can do short stories I can squeeze in another challenge. I think I'll try to only read freely available stories just to make it interesting. Can I read any combination of author/story or do I need to read a different author for each selection?

There are some really great authors on this list.

Just added three Mildred Clingerman shorts. One does not have a direct link to the free available copy of August 1955 issue of Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. This is how you can download it.

First go to the Luminist page for Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction at http://www.luminist.org/archives/SF/FSF.htm
Then scroll down to the appropriate issue, in this case August 1955.
Clicking on the blue highlighted date will start the download process.
Clicking on the cover icon will only get you an enlarged image of the cover.

Location: New Zealand		Everyone knows I can't resist a challenge, so I'll give it a go. Chose to go with the 6 women on the list only. I've previously read all but one of them, but I haven't read them widely, so now is a chance to do that.
