Robert Pope, whose art appears on the cover and on page 1726 (A Friend's Story), was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease at age 26 and died 9 years later from the side effects of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy that cured his disease. His book Ilness & Healing: Images of Cancer (Lancelot Press, 1991) chronicles in art and words his experience of cancer and its treatment, as well as his relationships with health care professionals, family and friends. Robert described the cover image, Progress, as "a multi-generational group of figures exploring family relationships, illness, and health. It looks back at the past and forward to the future. . . . This image can be likened to a cautionary parable. It reminds us of negative aspects of life: blindness, sickness, pollution. Yet this spiral of figures also suggests that hope and health can be achieved through human solidarity and the establishment of a vision for the future."
