- THE COVER
- Last fall, artist John Clymer was lazing along in his automobile in Washington State looking for a Post cover, and boy! he found one all right. This fiery hillside had burst into flame as a result of being cold; autumn’s keen upcountry frost had painted the huckleberry shrubs with a scarlet-dipped brush, and where scrub maples grow near the timberline of Mount Shuksan, they had been painted orange and gold. When an artist, by nature explosively sensitive to color-beauty, comes suddenly upon glory like this, what does he do—rise up and cheer? Clymer’s reaction is to sit very still and whisper, “Heavens to Betsy! Oh, my blessed aunt!” and similar mild profanities expressing his adoration. The huckleberry conflagration was a unique experience; he ran out of whisper words.
