- The Cover
- This wet cover had its origin in a drought. When crops withered in the Eastern states last summer, the Rev. Benjamin Axelrod, seen there at the door of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Bridgewater, Conn., included in his prayers a plea for precipitation. And one Sunday, just as his service ended, down came the rain, exit drought. Weeks later artist Melbourne Brindle, a St. Mark’s vestryman, puzzled some of the congregation by posing them at the church and refusing to tell them what it was all about—surprise, folks, you’re in the Post! Complete license helped keep that grass green during the drought; if any of those parishioners were out on a golf course during the deluge, how remorseful they must have been that they weren’t in church.
