Summer:  For the Summer 1998 cover, we did a callback to our own cover of a year earlier, which had an orangutan, the masthead style of Wired, and words that said "Special Spoofing Issue!"

This one instead had an artist's illustration of none other than Attorney General Janet Reno, again with the Wired masthead style, and words that said "Special Legal Issue!"  But it didn't end there.

Clever readers were soon able to deduce that the eyes of the orangutan and Janet Reno were the same!  (What kind of statement that put forth we can't say for sure.)

And, as a final feature, we added a nod to the famous New York Times artist Al Hirschfeld.  He was known for hiding his daughter's name (Nina) in his illustrations and for writing the number of times it appeared next to his name.

So we printed the phrase "FREE KEVIN" with a 4 next to it, meaning that there were four hidden "FREE KEVINs" in our cover.  (Apparently, we somehow messed this up and wound up with five of them.
