COVER The haunting visage of King Ashurnasirpal II adorns one of the six Assyrian Reliefs now permanently housed in the Hood Museum of Art. The story of how a 19th-century Dartmouth alumnus got them out of a rich excavation site all the way to Hanover begins on p. 30; an account of their restoration and installation follows on p. 31.
