- The Cover — Thanks to artist Ben Prins’ ability to remove the side of a building without anybody getting scared about falling out, we are now participating in the annual nervous breakdown called the World Series. Somebody has just struck a telling blow, and everybody in that standing-room crowd is full of rapture or agony. Pretty soon, by the law of batting averages, some mighty man on the other team will smite the spheroid to Kingdom Come, and all the happy people will shift gears into profound sorrow while grieving folk have their innings at crying hallelujah. Let us assume that this sort of thing goes on for seven games; then all the fanatics can gradually uncoil their nerves for a day or two—until a football game comes up. Is suffering worth while? You bet your life it is.
