Cover Story
John Derek's photograph of his wife heralds the return of la Bo (she appeared here last March) to our pages--12 of them, in fact, starting on page 108. We had a little office contest to name this pictorial and thought you'd like some of the losers: Bo's Regards, Merci, Bo's Coup!, Bo Geste and, naturally, Mo' Bo. It's enough to drive you Bonanas.
