The ISFDB link is good; what people may not know is that there's a complete
archive of Astounding/Analog on-line at Luminist - this issue, October
1969, can be found at
https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A9933c01b-adf2-48b5-8ae0-91d4a383d301#pageNum=1
and the links to every issue can be found at
http://www.luminist.org/archives/SF/AST.htm (Jan 1930 to May 1960) and
http://www.luminist.org/archives/SF/AN.htm (Feb 1960 to Dec 1979).
Astounding was the early home of many of the golden age greats, not least
of whom was Isaac Asimov.
