- The Cover — On the ample spaces of The Post’s first “gatefold” cover, artist Alajalov depicts Miss Outside and Mrs. Inside in wistful reverie. Their daydreams—well, one is an evening dream—are located in the grass-grows-greener-elsewhere category. Miss Outside yearns for a tall, dark, handsome and otherwise perfect man (is there such a specimen?); and Mrs. I., while her slightly imperfect oval of watches large lasses rattle and Junior uncorks a tantrum, envisions herself a secretary arranging flowers. They’ll feel better tomorrow, for reality is usually sunnier than in dour moments it seems to be. Meanwhile, couldn’t both ladies take a lesson in tidiness from the girls of their dreams?
