Our Cover: Autumn 1997

"The BAR Man"--a Marine in the first wave of the 19 February 1945 assault on Iwo Jima fires his Browning automatic rifle in a cover painting (and on the reverse of the print edition, a pen-and-ink sketch) by Colonel Charles Waterhouse, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Retired. Colonel Waterhouse was a rifleman in the Pacific War, and from 1972 to 1992 he was the Corps' artist in residence; in the print edition, see a notice of his Marines and Others, which collects his work about Marines and his other favorite subjects. (Painting and sketch reproduced by the kind permission of the artist.)
