COVER

One of Cincinnati's "local treasures," all-American Reggie Williams '76, is the subject of a profile beginning on page 29. The cover portrait was rendered by another Dartmouth ail-American, Joe Wilder '42 (lacrosse), who earned his M.D. at Columbia and has become prominent in the world of sports art. His lavish book, Athletes, in which this painting appears, has just been published by Abrams.
