ON THE COVER

Three Eager Anthropological Assistants. These knowledgeable informants from Esquipulas, Guatemala, have successfully led an ignorant anthropologist to a location where people secure clay to mold into small squares called "The Lord's Bread," which, when eaten, will kill the life-threatening craving a woman may experience during her pregnancy. Photograph taken in the summer of 1986 by the ignorant anthropologist, who also pretends, but only occasionally, to be a poet.
