The Cover
- There goes American civilization marching right into a beloved living room and (see blueprint) out the opposite wall. Baffling thought: sometimes it’s a shame to have it happen. Sure, it is a melancholy moment for those home folks there; yet how many thousands of miles have they sped gratefully over distance-melting superroads with nary a thought about whose ex-living rooms they were speeding through? Well, selling a house brings money for a new house, so let’s not press out there to the point of tears. This would have been a more attractive cover if grandmother, there on the porch, were sitting in a rocking chair holding the baby at bay with a shotgun. Neither she nor artist John Falter seems to have the old frontier what-it-takes.
