Our cover illustration: The photograph was taken by Terry Farmer. To get the classic effect, he shot black and white film, then processed the picture on color paper. The microphone featured in the photo is a 77-DX. It was developed by RCA in the 1950s and was used by some radio stations as late as the early- to mid-1960s. There may still be a few in use today. The mike was loaned to us by former Illinois Public Radio Statehouse Bureau Chief Jim Howard, who collects old radio equipment and memorabilia.
