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.
