THE COVER
- It is so refreshing to get away from it all, to glide out through the far-horizoned open spaces on the super fastways. If there is a slight hitch in the gliding, how soul-calming it is to savor at leisure the beauty of the land. Now the man with a camera—especially a motion-picture camera—can trace out the long course of the ribboning highway where countless other travelers bask in the same motionless peace. Now the man with a putter can putter to his heart’s desire. And all along the relaxed miles strangers can strike up happy friendships, as people do on shipboard. Artist Thornton Utz agrees that the man immobilized beside the resume-speed sign is un-co-operative and is muttering, “X! X!!” If the approaching storm lets go before he puts his top up, he can say that again.
