Oh, gosh.   The list is too long.  

I'll have to look this up.  Thanks.

....

Unfortunately, they aren't in chronological order.

The SF collection at archive.org experienced rapid growth during the
past few years. AFAIK _Omni_'s the only magazine that they made
available at first then later removed at the publisher's request.

"Our Man in Peking" (Howard) is one of my favorite _Galaxy_ stories. It
appears in the Februrary 1967 edition and contains classic chemtrail
before there was chemtrail. It also offers up sinister spook business.
Here's my favorite parts of the story.

spoiler space


    The bomber howled and bucked through updrafts. Dr. West knew
    the aircraft was laying a trail of aerosol fog across the
    formerly desolate mountains of South Central China.

    "They should have told us," the Major blurted. "I'm a
    professional. I should have been given the chance to
    volunteer. The Colonel and me, we're going to complete
    this spray run on the chance that the Air Force did
    agree to - sell us out. You C.I.A. spook, we've decided
    to complete the spraying mission.

    The Major waved the almost prehistoric .45 automatic
    ineffectually. "Now do you feel better or worse?"

    Dr. West surreptitiously had managed to raise his
    thumb from the button. At first his thumb had not wanted
    to release the button, as if it had an over-trained
    one-track mind of its own. The flickering red light
    stayed on, and Dr. West knew the spraying was
    continuing anyway. Probably if he never had pressed the
    button, a back-up mechanism would have initiated the
    spraying. Probably he was not only expendable; he was
    superfluous.

    ...

        When the couch was brought, Dr. West was afraid to sleep.
    What was going on in Mao III's head? The man had not spoken
    or moved since -
        "I move. I speak," Mao III said. "What do you wish to
    speak about?"206198

    *Sleep until I awaken you.* Dr. West lay there staring up at
    the triumphantly grinning faces of the Harvard Circle.
        Dr. George Bruning, boy wonder, geophysicist, astronaut,
    political climber, and buddy of the President.
        Dr. Sam Wynoski, chemopsychiatrist.
        Dr. Fred Gatson, bacteriologist and ladder climber.
        Dr. Einar Johansen, neurosurgeon and electric eel fancier.
        Dr. Tom Randolph, parapsychologist.
        You C.I.A. master minds, Dr. West thought so gently that
    Mao III did not awaken, you've succeeded in planting your man
    in Peking.
        But am I your man? You may have implanted general guidelines
    such as "love America." But you could never prepare me for all
    of the quick and unexpected decisions a new dictator must make.
    I have a feeling I am free now - to do what I want. Soon we'll
    find out.

Thank you,

I think a fair number of Niven's stuff came through Galaxy, didn't it?

Was  Rammer / Children of the State a Galaxy novel?

I seem to remember reading a lot of his early works in If,
Galaxy-s sibling.  But a look at ISFDB would give you a better
idea.

GALAXY SCIENCE FICTION 



That might not have been 
enough if the people' had not moved 
next door with their daughter. 

Perhaps that had been the start 
of his awareness of his job, his 
marriage, his life. 

ONE night — it was so long ago — 
he had gone out for a long 
walk. In the moonlight, he realized 
that he had come out to get away 
from the nagging of his wife's tele- 
vision set. He walked, hands in 
pockets, blowing steam from his 
mouth into the cold air. 

"Alone," He looked at the ave- 
nues ahead. "By God, I'm alone. 
Not another pedestrian in miles." 


---

Now, here is the problem with this writing...the minute I get to the Big Words "pedestrian", i have to spend hours trying to figure out 
what the word "pedestrian" means. Best to just thow it away, why contune reading????

Now, here is how  you market/promote your sf ebook..

You hijack the news headline like: "Kidnapped Children On Mars" from NASA's news release or the Washington Post science news Headlines.

That way your ebook title is already making headlines...at the same time you release the ebook on Amazon for preorders even before you begin to
write the one chapter book (since it should take you less than 30 to write one chapter)...

Remember...in todays world, ebook sales are higher than hardcover books sales.





and please...stop wit this "crosstown arteries" ....it's sounds bloody stupid.

another 'Fake Science News You Can Use' is

"Very Peculiar Radio Signals" 

"Astronomers don't know what's causing these weird radio waves from a nearby star"

https://news.google.com/news/search/section/q/star%20signal/star%20signal?hl=en&ned=us


I hope you already finished the other ebook on 



"Congressman asks scientists if they've found ancient civilizations on Mars"



Fake News You Can Use -- It's SCIENCEfiction



https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/07/congressman-asks-scientists-if-theyve-found-ancient-civilizations-on-mars/


Is there..."some people" there?




This is what the Congressman should have told NASA...

"What difference does it make if i said thousand or billion, just answer the fucking question!!!!"


Here is how you handle NASA people, everytime they don't answer the question...SLAP THEM!


The Congressman should say to NASA..."Come over here, let me slap you."

A favorite memory of my childhood was the Christmas morning I found a 
copy of Galaxy and a large orange in my sock (we were allowed to go 
pillage those early if we didn't bug the adults until later).  Best 
Christmas Sock Ever!  There was a Cordwainer Smith novella (one of the 
Casher O'Neill stories - I forget which one) and a lot of other stuff I 
enjoyed but do not recall.  I don't see the cover on the archive (early 
'60s fwiw), but what the heck.  Back I go to rereading Schmitz's "The 
Second Night of Summer" from December 1950.  Thanks for the link!

And am reminded of why it's fun to go find the earliest magazine version 
of something - there were a number of changes made when it was reprinted 
in later collections.  Improvements imho.
