Scientific American, "Information" issue, September 1966

An issue all about “information, with special reference to how it is processed by computers”… and just look at the contributors: McCarthy, Sutherland, Strachey, Minsky…

Don’t tell anyone, but you can find a copy - among many other computer history resources - here. Many interesting adverts as well as articles. (And regular features such as 50 and 100 years ago in which we learn of X-Ray crystallography and a Channel Tunnel proposal, respectively.) Also Martin Gardner’s Mathematical Games.
