On The Cover: Above, food, mostly sweet potatoes and bushfowl eggs, wrapped in leaves, is distributed at a traditional feast by the men of the sponsoring hamlet, while the Big Men of other hamlets wait for their share. Below, a masked figure chasing terrified children, who flee for protection to Duako, who cannot be beaten because he is a man and also because he is carrying his baby. Pictures taken by Ann Chowning in 1962 at Galilo, New Britain.
