COVER

This month's cover (photographed by Nancy Wasserman '77) features a map of the Upper Valley, drawn by digital data collected via LANDSAT satellite by a computer in the office of Professor Richard Birnie '66. (See the story on NOAA in the College Section.) To read this map: the reddish splotches are buildings and roads, the forests are green, and the fields are yellow. And that little yellow square about one and a half inches southwest of the logo? That's the Green.
