In the 50s, Robert H. Blattner made Reader’s Digest look good. He’s the cover artist featured on this page. His work is so extra pretty and interesting, yet it’s used to mask a bunch of boring condensed articles on Inflation, Education, Foreign Aid, Alcoholism, Boosterism, Big Oil, The U.S. Penal System, J. Edgar Hoover, and any other subject you can think of that makes yawning inevitable!
