'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants'

By Our Readers & John Mavroudis

This article appeared in the March 2, 2009 edition of The Nation.

February 11, 2009

Our readers were profoundly moved by John Mavroudis's February 2 Obama inauguration cover and wrote in large numbers to tell us so. Nation readers, always vigilant, let us know where we erred: Obama is facing the wrong way; we forgot to include _______(fill in the blank); we should not have included (a) Gandhi, (b) Thoreau or (c) _______(fill in the blank); the key was hard to read (we're sorry; we've reprinted it on page 24). We are pleased to announce that in response to your many requests, the cover will soon be available as a poster. Stay tuned.    --The Editors
