YOUR COVER PHOTOGRAPH OF PRIVATE First Class Christopher Lujan put a haunting, human face on the war in Iraq. Lujan, with his innocent face, seemed out of place in the uniform of war and on the streets of hell. Many of us are unable to comprehend how, at the beginning of a new millennium, we are still sending out our beloved children to kill and maim one another. Where are the protests?

Then there were Dali's phenomenal dot paintings of the late '50s and early '60s: large-scale, intricate fields of enlarged Benday dots, those minute circles of ink that make up a newspaper or magazine photograph.

Motion-detecting cameras in the forest caught what looked like immense chimpanzees, and a photograph purchased from poachers showed hunters posing with an animal estimated to be twice the size of an ordinary chimp. Ammann measured a fecal dropping three times as big as chimp dung and footprints as large as or larger than a gorilla...
