The Saturday Evening Post is a magazine that ran as a weekly from 1897 until 1963 and is currently published six times per year. In the early to mid 20th century it was considered a quintessential publication of the American middle class. Vonnegut had eleven stories published in the magazine from October 1952 to February 1962, a span longer than any other publication. A twelfth story, "The Hyannis Port Story", was scheduled but cancelled after the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. All four published George M. Helmholtz stories were featured in the magazine. Vonnegut submitted an early novella, "Basic Training", to the magazine under the pseudonym "Mark Harvey", but it was rejected.[1]
