The Worldcon bid to host the 1971 Worldcon in Boston.
Charlie Brown, Ed Meskys and Dave Vanderwerf started Locus in 1968 as a newszine to promote the Boston in 71 worldcon bid. As a bidzine Locus was intended to be published only until the site-selection vote was taken at St. Louiscon, the 1969 Worldcon, but Brown decided to continue publishing it as a general newszine.
