- This Week’s Cover — John Falter, whose little boyhood was spent in the Midwest, claims that region has the most hair-curling lightning and thunder in the U.S.A. Now an Easterner, he still, in retrospect, is so scared of those awful fireworks that he only recently got up the courage to paint this cover. Details from his horror memories are the way trees turn up the undersides of their leaves and look like phantoms, and the way dogs turn up their chins and wail. When we expressed surprise that somebody has remembered to close all those windows, Falter said he originally had a woman shutting one of them, but got mad at her face, and closed the window himself. One person in the picture is happy—the lad who now can quit spading.
