ON THE COVER
Foueda Island, Lau Lagoon, Malaita, Solomon Islands, 1968. This young
man
was seated in a cookhouse, in the late afternoon. The cookhouse was
filled with
smoke from the fire and steam from cooking pots. He and his friends had
been
chewing betel, and I joined them. Photo by Don Mitchell.
