...cross section of Americans for our 1987 special issue on the 200th anniversary of the Constitution. A native of Royal Oak, Mich., Dick attended the University of Michigan and, improbably, began his career working for a company that manufactured paint-by-number sets. After many years as a graphic designer and an art director for major advertising firms, he returned to illustration in 1971, working out of his Connecticut home. Last week Dick died of complications from septic shock syndrome...
...with our own staff, because we believe that's the best guarantee of quality. Last month we became self-reliant in an important new area, a complex technological process called imaging. Through a network of computers and electronic equipment, imaging makes it possible to convert photographs, illustrations and other graphic aspects of the magazine into electronic data.

His previous picture was the rough, wickedly funny Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, a sort of Valley of the Dolls (but with real dolls) that was suppressed by the Carpenter family. Poison is a more somber affair. The shock comes not from any graphic sex, for there is none, but from the pristine virtuosity of Haynes' craft. In three interlocking stories inspired by Jean Genet, this homoerotic Intolerance details the . toxicity of prejudice, fear and disease, as played out in a tumid hothouse of forbidden sexual longing. A scientist who turns leprous when he drinks...
