Seven stories from one long summer night.
On the cover: Comet Summer
A comet, a heatwave and a whole valley out past midnight.
Nobody planned to stay up. By eleven the road to the observatory was full of station wagons, and by one the diner had run out of pie. Somebody brought a radio. Somebody else brought a telescope that had never left its box.

Letters to the editor.
Typed, mailed and pinned to the board.
Dear Halcyon, We drove four hours to see the comet and the diner was out of pie. Worth it anyway.
Your lighthouse issue sent my husband up a spiral staircase at sixty-one. He has not stopped talking about it.
Please print more maps. I have taped every one to my fridge and my wife is concerned.
The people who write it.
