On the cover:
Mike Zajicek
Flying the free air of America after attempting to escape communist Czechoslovakia on a windsurfer.

The photo, taken with a Leica R5 and a Leitz 560mm lens was cropped too tight. Additional image area was created on a Power Macintosh to accommodate the cover logo. Colors were also added by computer to the sailor who now calls San Francisco his home.
