Henderson is best remembered for his important 1993 collaborative effort with Romare Bearden, A History of African-American Artists. He was a regular contributor to magazines such as Collier's, Readers Digest, and Harper's, writing on everything from jazz to racism in politics. During the 1970s, he edited the Medical Tribune and Hospital Tribune, while working as editor in chief for the World Wide Medical Press. Henderson was also the coauthor of War in Our Time: Beginning with the Invasion of Manchuria by the Japanese (1942) and Your Inner Child of the Past (1963). Sam Shaw, a film producer and photojournalist famous for his photographs of Marilyn Monroe standing over a subway grate with her skirt billowing. After a brief stint as the art director for the Brooklyn Eagle, Mr. Shaw began his career as a photojournalist with Colliers magazine in the 1940's. Alongside the journalist Harry Henderson, he traveled through the United States to create memorable photographs of West Virginian miners, Southern sharecroppers and New Orleans jazz musicians at work in their environs. His name became synonymous with the covers of Life and Look in the 1950's and 60's. Gradually, he moved into film. In 1951, he created the photograph of Marlon Brando in a ripped T-shirt that came to symbolize ''A Streetcar Named Desire.'' Monroe's star had risen by 1955, when Mr. Shaw was hired to shoot a poster for Billy Wilder's ''Seven Year Itch.'' Before a crowd of thousands, Monroe re-enacted the scene from Wilder's script in which she left the Trans Lux theater on Lexington Avenue and crossed a subway grate, as a rush of air from an oncoming train caused the skirt of her white dress to fly up. ''You've got to give Marilyn credit, too,'' Mr. Shaw said in an interview years later of that moment. ''She was very inventive. She loved the camera.'' In 1961 Mr. Shaw tried his hand at producing with ''Paris Blues,'' starring Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier. He went on to produce films for John Cassavetes, including ''Husbands,'' ''A Woman Under the Influence,'' ''Opening Night,'' ''Gloria'' and ''Love Streams.'' The author Henderson writes that the terrible tragedy of World War II is that it need not have been, that it was preventable. Each new demand, each new aggression by the Fascist powers was merely building the foundation for the ultimate struggle for world conquest. At any point the Fascist advance might have been checked---in Manchuria, Ethiopia, the Rhineland, in Spain, Austria, China, Czechoslovakia, even after Hitler demanded Danzig. It was prevented because selfishness, fear of Communism, and isolationism dominated the statesmen of the democratic countries and barred the erection of a strong system of collective security pacts. What we have had in these years since 1931 has not been "Peace in our time," as Neville Chamberlain put it, but war in our time. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events.
